Making bean bag Toys: 12 fun sewing projects

Turn simple beanbags into a whole collection of fun fabric characters. Starting with basic flat, triangular and round beanbags, this book shows you how to transform simple shapes into colourful toys with bags of personality. Make frogs, fish, cats, dogs, chickens, a fox, an octopus and more; before moving on to some of the more unusual creations, including gonks, a zip-mouthed monster and a rather fabulous snake. With 12 fun sewing projects, easy-to-follow, illustrated, step-by-step instructions and full-sized templates, the designs are suitable for anyone with basic sewing skills. Raid your scrap box, mix up your colours and patterns, or add your own details to create characters entirely of your own. A great way to use up fabric scraps, buttons, ribbons and trims - and once you've mastered the basic shapes, who knows what you might make next? So grab your fabric, choose your favourite and start sewing!
