INSTRUCTIONS TO SEW YOUR VERY OWN HANDY IPAD BEAN BAG STAND.
This simple iPad Bean Bag Stand is sewn using your favourite medium weight fabric and filled with rice. A polyester/cotton ‘Poplin’ fabric, or 100% cotton fabric, would be a suitable choice. I will even show you how to decorate a plain fabric using only the stitches on your basic sewing machine if required.

Rule from corner to corner with tailor’s chalk. Then rule lines parallel to the centre line at 4cm intervals and work your way out to the corners. This will form a series of ruled parallel lines on an angle across your fabric. (Skip this step if you are using a patterned fabric or prefer it to remain plain).
![Page 6: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Using the straight, zig-zag and decorative stitches on your sewing machine stitch along the ruled chalk lines. Alternate different coloured threads and stitches to create an interesting pattern on your fabric. Remember to match the top and bottom threads. Take the time to practice your chosen stitches on a practice piece of fabric. This will ensure that your finished piece of sewing is straight and even. Sew all the chalk lines in one direction. Turn your fabric and sew in the opposite direction. (Skip this step if you are using a patterned fabric or prefer it to remain plain).

With right sides together, pin the long side and one of the short ends. On the short end, leave a 5cm for turning through and filling.

Using tailors chalk rule a straight line 1.5cm from the cut edges to show where your machine stitching will go. Using a tacking stitch and a bright coloured thread that is easy to see, tack along the chalk line. Remember to remove all of the pins before you take your fabric to the sewing machine.

On the open end, use a pin to mark the centre point. This will be in the fold crease.

Trim the corners before turning through. Be careful not to snip your stitching. Press seams open using a steam setting suitable for your fabric type on your iron.
![Page 11: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Match the Pinned centre point with the seam on the open side. Match the points together on the sewn end.
![Page 12: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pin across the opening. Using tailors chalk rule a straight line 1.5cm from the cut edges to show where your machine stitching will go. Using a tacking stitch and a bright coloured thread that is easy to see, tack along the chalk line. Remember to remove all of the pins before you take your fabric to the sewing machine

Press the seam open using a steam setting on your iron that is suitable for your fabric type.
Turn your work through.

• Using tailors chalk, rule a straight line across the straight opening 4cm from the edge. Rule another straight line 7cm from the edge. On each line stop sewing 4cm before the end. This will allow for filling the front roll. Pin each line. Using a tacking stitch and a bright coloured thread that is easy to see, tack along the chalk line. Remember to remove all of the pins before you take your fabric to the sewing machine.

Use pins to seal off the second tube. This will remain unfilled.
![Page 16: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Use a funnel (or a piece of paper curled like a funnel) to fill your work with bean bag. Add only enough bean bag to fill the front roll.
![Page 17: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hand stitch the front roll opening closed using a neat back stitch.
![Page 18: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Machine sew across to the end on the second row of stitching that is 7cm from the edge. This will seal off the second tube so that it cannot fill with rice. It is to remain flat. Continue to fill your work until it is firmly packed with the rice.
![Page 19: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
(I have changed the instructions to place the opening for turning through and filling at the base of the finished item. I felt this would look nice on the finished item. So you will actually be filling your bean bad stand at the point that I am showing as pinned up like a little triangle tail here
![Page 20: iPad Bean Bag Stand](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56816641550346895dd9b148/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hand stitch the opening closed using a neat slip stitch. You should not be able to see the stitches. Now when you fold up the point and pin it, it will conceal your hand stitched opening. Neatly stitch the point in place. Stitch a button on as a decoration.
