Whatcha Working on Wednesday

My daughter had posted on her blog about working on some sewing this week. I thought I better get my act in gear get back to my sewing too. So I finished one of those unfinished projects I had sitting around. Yay! That project was my bean bags from work. They originally had pinto beans in them. I wanted them to be washable so after some research online I found some washable polypellts to use to fill the bags. The first part of the project for this batch was done. That was to cut the bags open, empty them, wash them in a bleach load (which is usually my whites load), iron them and finally add iron-on letters. The letters are to help us keep track which batch we need to wash at work. The first batch was the "A" batch. These are the second batch with the letter "B". However I was disappointed at the quality of the iron-on letters. They will probably fall off eventually. Oh well. First I was trying to fill the bean bags directly from the bag the pellet came in. That was not working out very well. I kept dropping some. So I found an emtpy tupperware container and poured the pellets in there. That worked great. I had just enough to fill my set of 10 bean bags. Now I will need to order some more since I plan to do probably two more sets of 10 for work. We use these bags for various activities with our rehab patients at work.

Yay! I finished the bean bags. Now I can take them to work and bring home the ones that still have beans in them. And do the process all over again.
