Well I made up the beanbig/pouffe inner and stuffed it with 3 bags of stuffing. Its huge and the stuffing goes nowhere near it. In fact its a lot larger volume wise than I imagined which is a bit frustrating.
I don't want to buy more stuffing for it as the point was to use materials I have not buy more, and I think the resulting item (if I did) would be very large and rather in the way in the living room rather than providing just a bit of extra seating as I had imagined.
Of course despite it being a test bean bag, I have neatly finished all the seams with the overlocker and it has a zip in the side seam and everything!
I have a few options:-
1. Remove the stuffing and donate the outer as a 'bean bag cover'. Its in shades of neutral creams and might let someone reuse an old beanbag.
2. Recut the fabric down to a smaller size and restuff it with the stuffing.
3. Have a rethink and try and locate a better pattern
4. Leave it and work on something else
Oh no. How frustrating. I vote for cutting it down a bit.. but only after its had a bit of a sit on the naughty step to teach it to be better behaved.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this will help or not, but if it is taking too much stuffing...consider stuffing it with something else. I have a pouffe I brought back from morrocco that I have stuffed with plastic bags from the grocery store. It worked great...and goodness knows I always have enough of those around the house!
