Cutting out
Step 1
From the fat quarter, cut out a 45x40cm (18×15¾in) piece of fabric for the for the beanbag and a 8x5cm (31⁄8x2in) piece of fabric for the cable loop.
Make the cable loop
Step 1
Fold both pieces of fabric in half lengthways with right sides (RS) together and press them.
Step 2
Sew the folded loop piece RS together along the long edge, then turn RS out and press.
Step 3
Fold this in half widthways to make a loop and pin to the top of one short edge of the bean bag piece so that raw edges are matching and the loop lies inside the folded fabric.Position the edge of the loop 5cm (2in) away from the pressed fold line.
Step 4
Sew together along the top, sewing the loop into place as you go, then sew down the side of the bean bag piece, leaving the bottom open to make a bag.
Make the bag
Step 1
Open the fabric out so that the seam is running down the centre of the bag. This will make a box shape at the base.
Step 2
Lay this down flat and with the seam on top, then fold in the bottom corner to the centre and press. Unfold and mark this crease with pins.
Step 3
Sew just this corner together across the pinned line then trim off the excess fabric. This makes a flat surface at the bottom of the bag, adding stability.
Fill the bag
Step 1
Turn the bag RS out and measure 8cm (31⁄8in) down from the open raw edge and pin together horizontally across the bag through both the front and back.
Step 2
Stitch the bag together along your pinned line, but leave a 5cm (2in) gap at one end for filling.
Step 3
Fill the bag firmly with bean bag filling then stitch the bag closed.
Make the resting section
Step 1
Turn the raw edges under by 1cm (3⁄8in) to the wrong side (WS).
Step 2
Stitch the end together, leaving a 5cm (2in) gap at one end for stuffing.
Step 3
Stuff this section firmly with wadding then stitch the opening closed.
Step 4
Prop your device up on the bag with the end on the resting section, then you can thread the cable through the loop to keep it out of the way when charging.
