Step 1Explanation

explanation
This http://www.generation-t.com/?s=bean+bag+chair  is where I got the original idea from but since I have little skill in pattern making it turned out to be alot bigger (It doesn't fit in my car) then  it was suppost to be. The picture of the short haired girl is how it is suppost to look from their way. 
I used: 
 (12)Large T-shirts of strong cotton fabric, any thin kind will rip when your friends  jump on it. Trust me.
Sizzors, yes I like to spell siZZors like that.
some type of paper for drawing the confusing pattern
chalk in different colors
sewing machiene with stong thread
some kind of stuffing for inside it, I originally used styrofoam balls from an upholstery store then switched to foam blocks (we'll talk       more about this later)
my laptop
some snacks
camera

You can see what they used on their site.

Looks like you figured out how to transfer the text over for a full Instructable, nice job! The chair looks comfy.

btw -The picture in step 1 of "the short haired girl" is Instructables' own Becky Stern (a.k.a bekathwia).
