Tutorial: Bean bag chair with stuffed animal storage

Stuffed animals are always fun to give to kids, but we parents know that there’s only so much space to store all those stuffed animals. Caroline from Sew Can She has a solution. She sewed a bean bag chair that uses stuffed animals as the filling, and she’s got a tutorial showing how. The bean bag chair gives a place to store the stuffed animals while also creating a soft space for kids to hang out. A zipper in the bag lets your child pull out the stuffed animals when she wants to play with them, or put them back in when she’s done. Smart!!
