I used a bag of polyfill that i had on hand and then tore open a stuffed squirrel plush toy set to go to the Thrift shop, and i cut up the "fur" as well. Moving on, I turned to my overabundance of flannel dusting rags, cutting those into strips, along with wool remenants. Works very well and saves me the cost of buying polyfill stuffing.CTMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825780992878036362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-70416273181146751462013-01-31T00:16:21.228+00:002013-01-31T00:16:21.228+00:00Ooooh Heidi has a new cushion....yeah!!Ooooh Heidi has a new cushion....yeah!!VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-41070319698822688502013-01-30T23:28:25.685+00:002013-01-30T23:28:25.685+00:00Hi Ilona,

You are a lady of great talent and wit!<br /><br /> I just wanted to say that I save all my tiny scraps for stuffing too and found they are really useful for filling draft excluders. I think as they make a dense heavy filling they probably do a better job at keeping the cold out than some of the 'bought for purpose' poly fibre fillings. I can't bear to throw scraps away, they are so many uses for them :)<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Doxie<br /><br />Doxienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-9549183002758374802013-01-30T23:19:55.157+00:002013-01-30T23:19:55.157+00:00Great use of tiny bits, keeps it all out of the la...Great use of tiny bits, keeps it all out of the landfills !
