Beanie Bag Animals were designed for the 4x4 hoop.  Each one is made entirely in one hooping with just one small seam to be sewn closed by hand upon completion.  These Beanie Bag Animals can be stuffed with fiberfil, polybeads or even beans or rice!  They are perfectly sized for bean bag toss games.

The Froggie Beanie Bag is designed for the 4x4 hoop.  It requires only 9 color stops and 6 minutes stitching time!

Froggie Beanie Bag (includes pes, jef & hus formats):

 Froggie Beanie Bag Instructions:

1. Hoop one layer of tearaway or cutaway stabilizer.

Center a 6x6" piece of fleece on top of stabilizer.

Stitch first color to secure.

2.  Stitch second color (froggie face outline).

Stitch third color (outer eyes).

Stitch fourth color (inner eyes, smile).

3.  Cut 4 8" pieces of 5/8" ribbon.

Fold each ribbon in half to form a loop.

Place first loop over back left corner diagonal line so loop is inside design area and approximately 1/2" of cut ends extend past diagonal line.

Tape ribbon down securely so loop does not cross design perimeter and so presser foot does not become entangled in loop in future steps.

Stitch fifth color to secure.

Repeat with second ribbon at back right corner.

Repeat with third ribbon at front right corner.

Repeat with fourth ribbon at front left corner.

4.  Place a second piece of 6x6" fleece on top of design, covering completely.  Stitch final color to secure.

Remove from hoop and trim around perimeter of design leaving approximately 1/4 - 1/2" seam allowance.

Turn right side out and stuff as desired.

Sew small seam opening closed by hand.

You're finished!
