Looking forward!

Yesterday I re-visited the local Salvation Army store & that high-back bag was still there. For $4.99 it should at least make a good template :)

I'm just not real sure high-back is the way I want to go with this. I don't think it will really support your back any better than slouching in a regular bag, plus they take up more space.

It's looking pretty deflated...two 100 liter bags of beans in it, and not close to full. Two bags was all Walmart had, will try to find more tonight. This thing's huge

This thing came out huge, four bags of filler later, it almost has enough in it. Now to order the sunbrella fabric and make it out of some quality materials(I'll be using the smaller pattern)

Has anyone used WeatherMax fabric? It's looking like this might be the better option for my use. Just looking for input...

It looks to fit YOUR size just fine - I'd be careful about making it much smaller. I like the size (for adults, of course :biggrin2 )

Fabric's in!! I work all weekend, but weekends are usually very slow, I hope to get my pattern cut out and maybe start sewing

I'm making an Etsy shop for them, what do y'all think I should sell them for? Cover only, shipping would be a bit dumb on filling.

My materials are about $40-$45, an I'm putting about 10 total hours in.

The other site sells a chair for $385, though decidedly higher end quality.
