I was wondering if anyone could help me,

I have started using my sewing machine again... and i am in the middle of making some draught excluder rolls... I am using the inners of an old duvet, but as i am stuffing the draught excluder, its getting a 'bumpy' look was just wondering if there was a way of filling it without getting the bumps:rotfl:

I am using an old wool blanket

if the stuffing your using is tightly compact.. break it up and pull apart ...and dont try to pack too much at one go..

hope it helps

Last minute stocking fillers. I'd like some quick ideas for lavender bags. Shapes and filling, how much do you add to each bag; do you use wading too?

Try Blooming Felt they have 4mm thick felt which is hard to come by. I've been waiting for some ivory 4mm to come back into stock which this reminded me to check, so make sure you don't order it all before I do!

Today I made 2 cute doggie lavender bags to be hung up in a wardrobe, one for each daughter, I used an old shirt, some contrasting thread, a little ribbon, old button and a tiny amount of wadding, Ill try to put a pic up later.

Good Idea.
I normally just make draw string type bags but just wanted something a little different.

in the end i just cut a length of the duvet, and rolled it, and put that in...

its exactly like the bolster cushion i made, but longer:rotfl:

Cooltrickerchic your cushions are lovely. The little flowers finish it of just right.
The material is lush!
