Pacman Ghost Bean Bag Chair

I was going to make a Pacman bean bag chair out of the material I had left over from making a plushie robot but I didn't have enough material. So now he's sort of a weird overly large pillow. I really wanted a bean bag chair though so I decided upon a ghost. At first I tried using a sheet to make it with but the sewing machine just wouldn't sew it right. So I went to Walmart and got a few yards of pink fleece. The sewing machine worked fine until I had only a few feet to go so I hand sewed it from there.

Step 1 What you'll need

You'll need:

• A sewing machine. You will definitely want to use one unless you are A) Really good at hand sewing stuff, B) Willing to take quite a while to finish this, and C) Can sew sorta fast.
• Thread.
• Material. I used 3 yards of fleece but you can use more or less depending on how big you want it.
• Bean bag beans. I got mine out of an old beanbag chair that was full of holes covered with tape to keep the beans in. Don't use the ones I used that can be really small or really big. Use ones of a uniform size like the ones I put in Pacman.
• A pair of good scissors.
• A marker.
• (Optional) A seam ripper. Let me tell you, these things help a lot when you mess up.
• A vacuum. Trust me, you'll need one.

So its just the two sides together like a pillow? or do you put the long thin strip around the outside of it aswell like the pacman one?

[Sunbanks]

You put the long thin strip around the outside of it like the pacman one.

sweet I will make both! i think you could go to the ups store and buy a bag of packing peanuts for like 3 bucks

[Sunbanks]

Cool! :D Oh yeah, I didn't think of using packing peanuts. They'd defnintely be less of a mess.

[jakee117]

yeah I had an old beanbag chair and that is actually what it was filled with.

[craig3]
