Today at work I was thinking about ways to clean up my various fiber spaces at home. I have things stored in my coat closet, my bedroom, my craft room, and my laundry room. Hmmmm, what to do, what to do. Then it hit me, like a bolt straight out of the sky. Well, it wasn't quite that earth shattering but it did get me thinking and as I left the office I put everyone who was still there on notice --
I was going to go home and create.
And I did.
Close up of the pocket -- great place to hold your remote or cell phone ~~
It's actually a pillow made from a felted Pendleton wool shirt with a 16" down pillow form inside. Ok, so I haven't actually reduced the clutter in my laundry room a lot. And part of me wants to keep the remaining sleeves. Afterall, they could be used for another project. Oh, I hear you Joyce -- throw the scraps out! I might just do that. Tomorrow. After I sleep on it. The idea, not the pillow.
I don't want anyone to ever know how many jeans legs are sitting in my scrap pile. I know there are a thousand and one useful items I could be making, but alas, there they sit.
ReplyDeleteThe sleeves could be used for draught stoppers. Or a hanging thingy to dispense plastic shopping bags. Or you could throw out the sleeves and I'll throw out a couple of legs.
LOL! I wouldn't throw out perfectly good wool sleeves. But if you need to throw, throw them my way! Very clever with the pillow, btw!
