Isn’t this the cutest thing ever? This adorable DIY bean bag chair by StraightGrain is a perfect lounger for babies that turns into a super comfy reading chair for toddlers.
Supplies:
- 1 yard/meter of fabric* for the top of the cover (preferably heavy weight, or mid weight reinforced with interfacing)
- 1 yard/meter of fabric* for the sides of the cover (preferably heavy weight, or mid weight reinforced with interfacing)
- 1/2 yard/meter of fabric** for the bottom of the cover (preferably heavy weight, or mid weight reinforced with interfacing)

- 2 strips of around 25 cm (1/4 yard) of Velcro
- around 50 liters (13.20 US gallons) of bean bag filling (polystyrene beads)
Assuming quilting width fabric (110cm/44″) for these parts; if you use regular width fabric, you can probably do with less.
Assuming regular width fabric (140cm/55″) for these parts; if you use quilting width fabric, you will probably need more.
