Have you tried creating an inner bag for the foam and putting a zipper along the backside so the covering could be washed? I know, I know, you were not thinking of small children but they are messy not to mention this seems like something they would like to crawl up into when they are not feeling well (as young children are prone to crave cuddly comfort when ill. ). I have a two year niece who would love one of these.
We wanted this project to be as beginner-friendly as possible, so we did not create the beanbag as a cover that could be removed with a zipper. The fabric we used, Crypton, is inherently stain, odor and moisture-resistant thanks to their proprietary fabric technology. Most liquid spills simply roll off the fabric. Stains can be easily spot treated, and the beanbag should be vacuumed to remove any dirt and debris. Crypton is a very easy-to-keep-clean fabric, and it’s a great choice for households with messy kids and pets.
Hi love this, and thanks for the video, I would like to make it a little smaller say the round top 30 inches, how do you adjust the size. Still new to sewing 😊and thsnk you
Question: are all the materials in the fabric used safe for children to sleep/ play on. Does the foam emit off gassing which would be unsafe for a young child to sleep/ play on? Also, when sewing clothes, I always wash the fabric prior to sewing. Is it recommended to wash this fabric before sewing?
Crypton is a GREENGUARD Gold Certified fabric for low chemical emissions. Fabrics that pass this rigorous certification are certified for helping to create healthier, more sustainable indoor environments. Crypton is free of potentially harmful levels of formaldehyde, heavy metals, phenols, phthalates, and odor and skin sensitizers. All this to say, yes, it is safe for children to sleep and play on. We do not recommend pre-washing Crypton. During manufacturing, the fabric is given an immersion bath followed by a heat process that seals the performance technology into every fiber. This gives the fabric lifelong stain, moisture and odor protection. Simple spot cleaning and vacuuming will keep the fabric clean and looking like new for years. To answer your concern about CushionRite Foam: All CushionRite Foam is CertiPUR-US certified. This means the foam is made without mercury, lead and other heavy metals, made without formaldehyde and made without phthalates. CushionRite has low volatile organic compound emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million). The foam is safe to use as a sleeping mattress, and safe for children.
I'm curious how the same diameter circle could work for both the top and bottom. Wouldn't the top be a longer length, because of the curve, therefore need a bigger circle?
Hi Laura! You are correct. The top and bottom circle panels do have different diameters. The top panel has a diameter of 38-1/2" and the bottom panel has a diameter of 35-1/2". Here is the provided PDF for reference: directus.sailrite.com/assets/d74b5048-87ad-4c85-a392-46fdd55e63ce
Hi, we are sorry for the confusion. On the PDF the 22-1/2" refers to the height of the side boxing panel. The measurement that you're looking for is 28-1/2". It is labeled in red text above the 22-1/2" text. The length along the bottom is 113 inches, so using your example the math would be 28.5+14+14+14+14+28.5= 113 inches. Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Adding a zipper for maintenance is an excellent idea! It would definitely enhance the functionality of your Bean Bag. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Hi! We are glad you like the beanbag. We show the measurements at 2:20. But we also have this: directus.sailrite.com/assets/d74b5048-87ad-4c85-a392-46fdd55e63ce linked in our description
Crypton fabric has 0 PFAS chemicals (also known as "forever chemicals") and is GREENGUARD® Gold Certified. You can learn more about it here on our website www.sailrite.com/Crypton-Home-Fabrics
For this project we actually used 6 Sheets of 24” x 80” 1” CushionRite Firm Foam. You can find it on our website here! www.sailrite.com/CushionRite-Standard-Antimicrobial-Foam-Firm
We've linked the free pattern with measurements in the description of the video. But we can also link it here for you! Happy Sewing! directus.sailrite.com/assets/d74b5048-87ad-4c85-a392-46fdd55e63ce

GREAT project! I may have to try this one as a gift for my little grandson! Thanks for the video
Krypton. Superman can't set in it. Like the video anyway .
It's looks very comfortable. Thank you sharing this video. God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
AMEI A PRATICIDADE COM QUE VC MANUSEIA O TECIDO. ADOREI O VÍDEO.....FAREI EU MESMA OS MEUS.

Should we program the measurements in cm?
Your bean bag work is very nice How many inches height did you cut in the quarter ring

Do you happen to have a pattern for a scaled down version of this, for smaller children?
Just half the numbers for a 50% chair? ^^
No, that will not work for the diameter. You have halve the circumference of the top and bottom, if you halve the side panel.
Hello. I’m a bit confused. 22.5 +14+14+14+14+22.5 =101 inches but it is supposed to be 113 inches along the bottom? Thanks

Best and easy way to make beanbag
Me gustaria saber las medidas del patron en centímetros. Gracias
lo mismo digo.... tene que multiplicar todo por 0.9144 y aun asi parece que no son esas las medida, no entiendo el 1/2...
Great video and project ! 😎
Thankyou🙏🌹👌
Can you add a zipper for maintenance purposes?
Adding a zipper for maintenance is an excellent idea! It would definitely enhance the functionality of your Bean Bag. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Beautiful work but how do we know the measurements
Hi! We are glad you like the beanbag. We show the measurements at 2:20. But we also have this: directus.sailrite.com/assets/d74b5048-87ad-4c85-a392-46fdd55e63ce linked in our description
de yarda a metros?? ando multiplicando todo por 0.9144, que costaba poner en metro che?

Wonderfull👍👏👏
Do you use styrofoam sheet foam?
For this project we actually used 6 Sheets of 24” x 80” 1” CushionRite Firm Foam. You can find it on our website here! www.sailrite.com/CushionRite-Standard-Antimicrobial-Foam-Firm
Hell yeah 😅
What is the brand of cutter you are using and where can I purchase one?

What does it look like without someone sitting in the chair?
You can see a good shot of it at the 0:09 second mark. Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤
To many work for me 😢
Good job but u didn't tell us about measurement
We've linked the free pattern with measurements in the description of the video. But we can also link it here for you! Happy Sewing! directus.sailrite.com/assets/d74b5048-87ad-4c85-a392-46fdd55e63ce
No se puede entrar para ver las medidas dice ERROR
Bean bags have styrofoam beans inside 😂😂. Just saying 😅
❤
This seems a very wasteful way to cut out! I'm sure there is a better way for those of us not made of money!
T they make apps to create waste less patterns
You over advertised me and you just aren’t likable enough to endure more.
