Suntory announces massive price spike for Japanese whisky, some types more than double in price 3 views Despite many loving the item, there were a few who had some issues. One shopper said: “This blanket does the job to keep you warm, and it feels soft and cosy, but the quality of the material isn't the best. It transfers a lot of fluff on to pretty much everything.” The beanbag is designed to be worn like a dress but the adult version does weigh around five kilos (11 pounds), so you can use it as a regular beanbag as well.

Using your sewing machine, sew the elastic to the fabric circle (remove the pins as you go). I used my Singer 7285Q Patchwork for this, which has the option for zig-zag stitches. This is perfect for sewing elastic, as the zig-zag stitch will stretch with the elastic – meaning it won’t snap if you over-stretch it. You’ll now have two separate pieces: one circle with elastic joined, and one circle with the rectangle joined. The next step is to join these two pieces together. Simply pin the other long edge of the rectangle piece to the circle with the elastic on it. This is very similar to how you joined the first long edge of the rectangle in the previous steps. The main thing to remember here is to ensure the elastic strip is captured inside the two circles! This is because we’ll turn the DIY wrist pincushion inside out in a moment, which will reveal the elastic strip on the outside – ready to wear on your wrist. Ta-dah! I designed this wrist pincushion, with an elasticated strap. No excuse not to use it! And the best bit? It’s stuffed with wire wool, so it will sharpen your pins as you use it! How cool is that?Take your other fabric circle and the long rectangle of fabric you cut out earlier. Pin the long side of the rectangle to the curved edge of the circle. When you’ve gone all the way round the circle and the two ends of the rectangle meet, fold the ends outwards (not inwards!).

Take one of your fabric circles and place it face side down on your table. Carefully pin the two ends of your elastic strap to the very centre of the fabric circle. Make sure the ends neatly line up, to form the wrist strap shape. Japan is famous for being a land of convenience, so when you want to stay warm and sit down for extended periods of time, who can be bothered to go to the effort of pulling out a chair and wrapping a blanket around yourself? To begin, you need to cut out two circles and one long rectangle from your fabric. The circles should be approximately 10cm in diameter. The rectangle should measure 35cm by 6cm.

They are available in three sizes, and come in four colors—olive green, beige, mocha, and charcoal.

The time P.K. flatly refused a request from his deceased best friend’s mom at their first meeting 7 views Finally, stitch the slit closed. You’ll need to do this the traditional way: with a needle and thread! Use a hidden ladder stitch (or similar) for the best result. When it comes to pin cushions, it’s what’s on the inside that counts the most. The filling, after all, is what keeps pins in place, keeps the cushion steady, and can even keep pins clean and sharp. The most common pin cushion filling is polyester, as it is pliable enough to place and remove pins without much issue, yet structured enough to secure them. It is, however, a lighter material, so it may cause your pin cushion to slip or fall off the table easily. The beanbag is easy to get into — simply make sure the front tag is at the front when you pull it over your head, and then you can enjoy the beanbag life all day long. To remove, simply pull your hands inside and push it up over your head from the bottom. Feel protected and secure during your sports- and outdoor activities, when you sit in a normal chair or on any hard surface, or when you play on the ground. Afterwards you can simply put the entire AllRounder O2 in the washing machine to clean it up and make it ready for your next adventure together. Experience the freedom! User testimonials

The Wearable Beanbag was created by Takikou Sewing, a company in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, that specialises in beanbags, or “bead cushions” as they’re known in Japan.

The Vicair AllRounder O2 has really made it possible for me to go through life a bit more carefree again.”– Julia van der Sprong Whether you work from home or are on the run for the whole day, it's always nice to take a break and lounge, even if only for a little while. Sometimes, it can be hard to find the right spot to settle in, though. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a comfy seat no matter where you are? Well, Japanese company Hanalolo may have the perfect, albeit awkward, solution: a wearable bean bag pillow, so you can be your own cozy spot wherever you are. This concept was born out of the idea of a cushion that would allow you to totally let go, any time, anywhere. You can put this on and chill out in your living room, or loads of other places, that’s why we created it,” Takikou’s Shogo Takikawa said. Hi Cheryl! Thanks for pointing this out. The toy stuffing was an error on my part. I had originally planned to use a blend of toy stuffing/wadding and wire wool, but I ended up only using the wire wool. My bad! I’ve deleted that from the supplies list now.
