Quarter Inch Seam foot optional but helpful for the topstitching.Sewing Machine and standard presser foot.For the rip stop, you’d need up to 3¾ yards. Cut 36” wide and purchase 1¾ – 2 yards each of the two exterior fabrics in order to allow a 60” to 63” cut. In this case, you’d want to cut your panels in the opposite orientation as indicated below, which will mean a bit more waste. If you’d like to make a larger “adult” size chair, the width side to side is okay as is, but you’ll want the length be 6” – 8” longer. Our kid-size pyramid bean bag chair is a bit hard to precisely measure because of the dimensional shape, but in general it finishes at approximately 29” across the base panel, 32” from the floor to the top peak of the back rest, and 53” from the peak down to the foot, measuring along the bask rest and the curve of the seat. This was in order to better show the entire piece(s) within the frame of the camera. In the steps below, you’ll notice we used a “mini” version of the chair in some images. This print and solid combination is a nice look, and a darker solid color on the bottom also helps hide dirt.
Because we were designing for kids, we chose a vibrant tropical fish pattern in combination with a bright marine blue. Working with outdoor fabric for larger projects like this bean bag chair is great since these substrates are nearly always 54” or more in width, giving you lots of real estate with less yardage. It’s outdoor season, and we found a nice selection of outdoor fabric in-stock from our friends at. You can also hang it up to keep it out of the way or to allow it to more easily dry out should it get damp. The handle on the back of the chair lets you easily move it from point A to point B. It would likely get ruined… and would be lonely after so many days outside on its own. Although, as with all outdoor cushions and other fabric-based outdoor accessories, our bean bag chair is not meant to be left out in the rain for days on end. The rip stop nylon Lining sleeve creates an inner moisture barrier for use outdoors. There are alternatives, such as shredded foam the filler choice is really up to you. We used Poly-Fil Biggie Bean Bag Filler by Fairfield, which is the common expanded polystyrene beads. You’ll create an inner sleeve from rip stop nylon to stuff with your favorite filler. The unique pyramid shape allows the chair to form a higher back rest, and we added a panel at the base to keep the chair’s occupant(s) from sliding off onto the floor! Our sample is sized for kids, but we also give you dimensions to up-size for adults. We shopped to find a print and solid in tough outdoor fabric so the chair could be used outside on the patio as well as inside in a bedroom or family room. This little lounger is made from simple rectangles – no pattern needed.
Never ones to be daunted by geometry, we turned instead to a recent trend in slouchy sitting: the pyramid bean bag chair. But if you wanted to make your own, it really demanded a pattern (a very large pattern) in order to get a true spherical shape.
The classic bean bag chair has always been round, kind of like sinking into a giant squishy beachball.
