make a big bean bag

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jun/02/beanbag-chair-make-your-own came across this earlier, and thought, yeah I agree, beanbags are so overpriced. When I move in with my fiance next month we’ll have a go at making a couple. I am thinking maybe out of old jeans and other clothes. Either by patchworking it together, or getting a base layer of plain material, and randomly sewing on patches. Should be fun!!
