Sew a Beanbag

A great kid's first sewing project can be to sew a beanbag. Use your beanbags for a game of toss or a pillow for a Barbie. There are countless ways you can play with them.

You will need:
2- pieces of 4x6 inch material
Beans or rice
Place your two pieces of 4x6 inch material with right sides together.

Example of Right (on bottom) and Wrong (on top) sides of material

Sew one side to the end, take it off the machine and sew the next side. Don't forget to do your backward stitch after the first few stitches and at the end. (We will learn how to do corners in the next level.) Leave one side open. Stuff the material with beans or rice.
