Sewing Project for Winter - Easy Fabric Draft Stopper
|
|
|
|
Especially if you live in an old house, there always seems to be a draft on those cool windy days. You can easily avoid this problem by creating easy draft stoppers to place in front of doors or windows. A few small stones are placed inside of these to give them weight and help keep them in place.

centimeters seam allowance

Instructions:
1. Cut your fabric pieces and pin them together with the right sides facing. Sew completely around all 4 edges with a one centimeter seam allowance. Leave for an opening for turning.
2. Turn the fabric and iron it flat. Place a few stones into each side of the hole and then stuff with cotton until it is the thickness you prefer.
3. Hand sew the stopper side closed with a slip stitch so that the stitches cannot be seen afterwards.
