mini bean bag project

Supplies Needed

rotary cutter & mat

scissors

quilting ruler

fabric scraps

sewing machine

embroidery thread

embroidery needle

feather weight fusible interfacing

dry beans

Directions:

Using your quilting ruler, rotary cutter & mat, cut out fabric scraps into 2"x4" rectangles.  Following manufacturer's directions, fuse your interfacing to the back of your rectangles.  I like to do mine in a big batch all at once.

Next, cut out each rectangle, fold in half with right sides together, and sew (using your machine) 1/8" inch around three sides of your square.  I sew the ends of the open side just a smidge to make turning in the raw edge easier.  Trim your square with pinking shears and turn out. 

Now fill your bag 2/3 full of dry beans.  Turn down the raw edge and  hand stitch closed using your embroidery thread and needle.  I used a blanket stitch for a  tidy look. 

I'm more than happy to share this project with you and hope that you enjoy the process of creating.  I do sell sets of these mini bean bags on my ETSY shop if you would rather buy than try.
