Repairing a cloth bean bag?

If anyone could give advice on this, I would be grateful.
I have a cloth bean bag which is made or some sort of material that is cigarette and match resistant. No idea why type of material it is.
The dog decided to rearrange the bean bag and has made a few short tears in it. I tried stitching the repairs, but eventually they just pop open again.
Any ideas how I can repair this?
Thanks.

RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

I had this problem when my daughters bean bag was appropriated by our staffie! its amazing how many beans can leak out of one small hole! what I did was to buy some of that iron on hemming stuff and use it to stick a patch over the hole! very carefully as if the iron is too hot it will melt the beans. I used to push the beans down one end then on a tray on the floor iron the patch on. seemed to work better than stitching! or you could use one of the new 'no sew' fabric glues! they werent around then but if they had been I think I would have tried them.0

Thanks meritaten, I have never heard of 'no sew' fabric glues: I'll give this a go first and then resort to the patch if that doesn't work. It will be good to stop all those little beans escaping all over the floor.

The glue section at Wilkinsons is a whole new way of life!:D No more sewing for taking up hems, sewing in name tags, sewing splits.
I got my glue thanks meritaten.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
