  6. I am looking forward to making one of these for a 1st birthday gift for a friend's baby. However, I am wondering how important the inner lining is, could you just do the outer lining or will it not turn out as good? Just curious.

    Thanks!

  7. The fabric that you select to make your bean bag with is the most important, I think. If I made one with a soft faux suede - I don't think my daughter would ever leave it. Many bean bag chairs on the market have the best fabric coverings - even fur - Cool!

  8. I love to sit in bean bags, they are really comfortable to sit on. Sometimes, I fall from it when I get unbalance. Anyway, I hope bean bags would have a supporter at the back.

  9. The link to the adult size chair doesn't seem to be working. Is anyone else having this problem?

  10. Great idea a fabric glue would also better, but I love to sew. You have a simple plain Bean Bags, they right just put some designs to look more attractive.
    Thanks for sharing with us.

  13. Thanks for the pictures!
    I was wondering, since there are 3 sizes displayed, which of the two larger ones is the "adult size"?
    And how large is the pattern for the largest bean bag?

  16. Krystal, the links in the article don't work, but if you click on the pictures in the sidebar on the left they will take you to the patterns. I just downloaded them after stumbling upon this blog. Thank you Joanna & Making It Fun.
