I hope you're celebrating the unofficial start of summer with family and friends today. I plan on spending the day relaxing, visiting, and eating some burgers and potato salad. To get you in the summertime spirit, I'm sharing a project that's pretty and practical--these super simple red, white and blue beanbags. You can use them to hold your tablecloth, napkins, and paper plates in place on breezy days. You can arrange them in a basket to make a simple centerpiece. You can even use them in a beanbag toss game. (They are beanbags, after all.)
I used three cotton prints to make my beanbags: a blue swirl pattern, a red-and-white floral, and a red polka-dot fabric. They're embellished with red, white, and blue rickrack, and red-and-white gingham ribbon. You can, of course, use any ribbons or trims you have in your sewing stash.
