Last Thursday, Zac + I had dinner with his family + then we went geocaching. We didn't find it, but it was still fun. Then we came home + starting making cornhole bags. We were on a tight deadline + my sewing machine was not cooperating! I finally got everything working + around 11:30 pm we had 8 (plus two extra) bags:
It was pretty easy! You just need:
- 16 7" pieces of duck cloth (8 one color, 8 another color)
- sewing machine
- sewing needle made for heavy fabric
- heavy duty thread (i used dual duty coats)
- 16 cups of corn feed (2 cups per bag)
- Extra sewing pins
- Sew (double stitch) around bag (1/2" seam allowance) leaving about a 2" hole (to turn inside out + insert corn)
- Trim corners, turn inside out, use pencil to help poke out the corners, fill with 2 cups of corn
- Fold the open sides of the filled bag inward to a depth of 1/2 inch to match the rest of the seams you’ve already sewn. Place pin to prevent corn from falling out + to make it easier to sew seam. Place stitches as close to the seam as possible + double stitch (or triple).
The long-awaited Crosley Portable Turntable also showed up at my doorstep!!! Ahh! I ♥ it!!! We listened to it while crafting:
(It's got a really pretty home now [I'll post a pic soon])
The next night we went to HHH for a crawfish boil (that's why I needed to make the cornhole bags so fast). These are the boards Cox made:
Zac + I got first game for all of my hard efforts, haha.
Vera came too, but she was afriad of the noise + stayed inside most of the time. Poor thing:
