Sew Three Sides

Lay the 2 pieces of matching fabric squares (or whatever shape you made) on top of each other, making sure the right sides of the fabric are facing each other. The right side of the fabric is whatever side you want to show on the outside of the finished bean bag. You want to match up the edges as well as possible. Do the same with the muslin.

Now, using the sewing machine or a needle and thread, sew 3 of the 4 sides together. If you are making a different shape, do your best to sew 3/4's of it together.

If you are hand sewing, use a tight backstitch.
