I save my all my "floor sweeping" size bits of small fabric scraps and even thread tails, etc in a garbage bag in a chest, and then use these for stuffing pillowforms and other things sometimes, too. They make a nice heavy pillow, plenty soft for sofa cushions.Milliehttp://www.sew-and-grow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185108543570314298.post-88030056615308145302010-10-18T20:03:45.334-07:002010-10-18T20:03:45.334-07:00I like to make reusable grocery bags from old t-sh...I like to make reusable grocery bags from old t-shirts.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538364104606258790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185108543570314298.post-50927012767401134112010-10-18T19:50:09.580-07:002010-10-18T19:50:09.580-07:00Looks like a beautiful book!
