Q&A for How to Make a Bean Bag

It depends on the size of your bean bag and how much you fill it up. Less filling might make shorter, while more filling may make it taller. But keep in mind that when you use the filling, you might need to fill it up again with new beans to fluff it back up.

You can get bean bag fillings in some stores, and online, which are really good to use. Otherwise, chickpeas, beans, and toy stuffing are all good choices.

You could, but you'd likely find that it's too small, even with the largest of shirts.

You can use either plastic pellets, beanbag filler (which is available at most craft store and online), or you can use old packing peanuts.

Well, that depends, is it a patch? Are you considering selling bean bags and this would be your logo? In any case, the best way would probably be to embroider it on, there are services that can do that for you. Or, you can use fabric paint to make a stencil if you want to just do one bean bag for yourself.

Sewing is almost always possible by hand. However, the final product may be messier or weaker than the machine sewed alternative. Also, it may take a lot of time and require a lot of patience.
