You want them to be able to move the items around to find them. (Remember to leave your opening!)Īdd doodads and then pellets. Flip right side out and sew zig-zag around edges to secure seams. Sew together leaving about a 2-3″ opening to turn right side in and add do-dads and pellets. Pin edges together with right sides facing. Sew the list on the back using zig-zag stitch so it doesn’t fray. Test first because I had to pull it out once due to the plastic sticking to the machine. I have a choking phobia so I wanted to make sure these puppies wouldn’t bust a seam. Sew the plastic window, I did 2 rows of running stitch and then a zig-zag around. I kept the test sheet, cut it out and laminated it for myself to keep in my wallet so (when I’m not driving) I can help him by reading the things off.Ĭut a 4″ square out of the plastic and Scotch tape it to the inside of the bag. Once your satisfied print it out and follow the directions on the package. Measure it on the back of your bag leaving about a 1″ border to sew on. Choose your font and print a test sheet before printing on your fabric. In Word, type a list of all the items you’re putting in the bag or print a picture of them. I also folded the fabric in half and ironed the seam so I knew where to center the front window.įind a square object (I used a post-it note box) or measure a 3″ square window and trace it. Iron fabric flat with 1/2 inch seam all the way around. Measure and cut with a rotary cutter a 16″ (width) x 8″ (height) rectangle little doodads (sequin, button, paper clip, acorn, doll house items, etc).poly-pellets used to fill dolls, found in the sewing notions section (Michaels carries these, but Joann’s and Hobby Lobby do not).4 inch piece of plastic, about 4mm thick.Here’s what you need to make one of these. My son loves playing I Spy when we drive but sometimes when I drive I have to pay attention ya know? So I started collecting little doodads around the house and saving some of the little things he collects (that we never have anything to do with) to put inside. The kids read the list (or look at the pics) of items printed on the back and manipulate the bag to find the items through the window. They are little bean bags with a plastic window in the front. They’re called I Spy bags and you’re kids will love them. Want to keep your kids quiet in the car? Want to keep them quiet period? Then you have got to get one of these little bags of bliss!
