It is getting really cold in Melbourne right now. Heat escapes our lounge room from the gap under our door. What better excuse than to make a door draught stopper, out of things from around the house. Using men's neckties from my fabric stash, opened up, ironed flat, and stitched together in a tube, I made a snake! Filled entirely with fabric scraps, buttons for eyes, and a washing sponge for its tongue.

ReplyDeleteThank yo for your lovely comment on my Mum's jacket. She was thrilled to get so many compliments!
AWESOME! I think I'll have to make this for my daughter and her sons! (I'm sure they'll think it's a toy too!!)
