Crafts... sewing... cooking... gardening.... I think i just got a glimpse of what heaven could be like. YOU ma'am are my kindred spirit.
Good tutorial, I recommend starting at 3:00 unless you really want to hear about the fabric sponsors.
Hello Vanessa, I wanted to share my bean bag chair with you I made for my 18 month old granddaughter. She loves it as does her sister and my daughter-in-law. I have to make another one for her house. This was so easy and fun to do. Thanks for all your tutorials.
I love the bright colors of the rose cuddle. Rose cuddle mint and canary are my faves.
The Cozy Cuddle Collection is full of bright colors - love it!
I’m watching this in 2019!
I appreciate how easy your tutorial is! Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for the tip about preparing appliques to turn with interfacing. I have been sewing for a LONG time, and this is the first time I've seen that method used. Excited to learn something new. :)
Awesome tutorial! Thanks for the free pattern! I just made a beanbag chair following the tutorial. Love it. Going to make another one for my kids!
Such funny memories! I made a giant adult size bean bag when my 30-somethings were babies. We lived near a factory that made the beads in Georgia. It wasn’t something we could spend money on so I’d sneak to the dumpster and get their throwaways every day. Car was a mess but the green beanbag chair was so much fun!! Thank you for your great video. I lost the pattern and want to make for my grandchildren.
I positively love your tutorials. Thank you for the brilliant ideas.
Thank you for this idea. I have wanted some beanbag chairs for my childcare reading area. Now I can make a few out of my fabric inventory. You are an amazingly talented woman. Your family is so blessed.
Awesome!!! Great tutorial....Thanks :)
I'm now inspired to make a bean bag for my grandson.
Wow amazing the most beautiful looking bean bag chair I have seen. I will definitely try this
Mar Bella collection by far...but they're all so beautiful. Can't wait to try the bean-bag. You do such a good job on you're tutorials. Thank you.
Awesome tutorial - even I could probably have a decent enough try at this and I'm going to!! Nice clear instructions.
Brilliant, love your tutorials. Downloaded the template perfectly
My favorite would have to be all the Paisley Cuddle Print. The print is lovely and all the colors are beautiful!
Love the Mar Bella collection. AWESOME! As are your tutorials. Thanks.
Great tutorial thanks . When filling the inner bag I taped an empty toilet roll to the plastic bag opening making a funnel, the I tied the fabric to the other end of the toilet roll or kitchen towel roll, I turned the plastic bean bag upside down and the beans flowed into the bag with no beans spilling out, it worked really well.
how much bean bag filler did you put?
I love the Mar Bella Collection, have amazing colors!!! Great tuto thanks!
I absolutely love this tutorial! And the Mar Bella collection is absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for the great videos Vanessa!!
I love the celebrate Seuss fabric! A bean bag chair made out of that would be super cute!
Thank you very much! Will make it for my son. I love the way you make clean business. Well done!
I loved the fabric for both your son and daughter! I will definitely make this project!
the vine cuddle collection is so beautiful! i particularly liked the olive color
Love Shannonfabrics - my daughters name. I make Luv Blankets using cuddle fabric and can't wait to place a large order for my blankets. SO STOKED!!
My grandson who will grow into this great bean bag chair
Speedster (teal and lime green) partnered with Vine Cuddle (Carbon) with Rose Cuddle Dark Turquoise. It will be perfect for his play station at his Daddy's vinyl wrap shop. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. :-)
I love the Rose Cuddle Dark Lime! My 5yr old son has a sensory problem that makes him like to touch everything so I think he would love this texture. Thank you for your videos!
Rose cuddle purple, love the richness of the royal purple. Thanks for the tutorial and giveaway.

I love all of the Mar Bella Cuddle Collection, but if I had to pick just one I really like the Granada Cuddle Marina!! That collections is gorgeous! Great tutorial, thank you for sharing!
Love this tutorial! I have been wanting to do this for my kids for a long time but alot of the patterns were pretty pricey to buy.Thanks so much for offering it on your channel. I love the Dr.Seuss cuddle fabric. I can totally see my kiddos reading their books on

omg I really love this video and your enthusiasm. this is gonna be in my to do list
I love your videos!!! You are truly gifted!
Well I have a few favorites!! The Paisley Cuddle Topaz and Olive. The Valencia Cuddle Marina, RKC Candy Strip Red Mango! I'd love 1 yard of each, not because I want to make a beanbag because I dont have enough floor space but because I want to make my baby Jaxx (49lb Shephard/greyhound) a new bed that is comfortable for him. Im so glad that you are finally back and able to make new videos. My MIL had pancreatis. She was about 4'6 and she would shake the hospital bed. I'll be praying for you!
Thank you for sharing your talents! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Wonderful video tutorial! The Shannon Fabric I like is the new spice market in the goddess aqua color wave. Would make an awesome bean bag chair for my granddaughter. I will have to make next month! Thank you for your enthusiasm too!
I really like Shannon's Soft Fur Collection. I think the rich brown color would be so nice for making stuffed toys. Vanessa thank you for taking time to make these awesome videos. They are always so easy to follow and you have the cutest projects to make!!

Newly subscribed!! You're awesome ✨💗
I was searching on pintrest for stuffed animal storage ideas and someone suggested a bean bag. And I remember you had a video on how to make one. So mine will be working double duty. Thanks for video
I love your videos! You have such a Beautiful Family!
I just adore the Barcelona Cuddle Olivia! Combine with a solid white and it would make a PERFECT cuddle blanket for my sofa. *Snuggles*

what a cool project!!!
An amazing tutorial dear ♥️
Im a little late to the 'party' only by a few years! Found your utube video and can't say enough about how wonderful your pattern and directions are. Thanks!! Made 2 bean bag chairs for visiting grandkids
You are so welcome!
Wow, this was great.
Love this tutorial Vanessa! I wish I had some kiddaloons to make these for, but since it's just me and my hubby I'll have to pass. Tthe phrase "Help! I'm stuck in a bean bag, and I can't get out!" and visions of being stuck in one for hours running through my head, lead me to believe an adult sized bean bag probably isn't a very good idea for us. LOL Thanks again for the great tut, and have a great day!
Very cool app, congrats!! Love that is all red :) also love the share button to send a pic for the finished projects
Hiya Vanessa! I decided to make a 'patch work' bean bag for the lounge at home. I've downloaded lots of written instructions with pictures but it wasn't until I watched your video tutorial that they made sense. I've downloaded your pattern and bookmarked your tutorial. I feel much more confident about making it and once it is done I'll post a photo :D
I have to say, you are an amazing woman! Your family are really lucky :) great videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
The Mar Bella Cuddle Collection is lovely! I also adore the Robert Kaufman Superhero by Illusion Ink. :) Thanks for posting an awesome video!
