some mindless yet practical sewing.
My house is old. Like over a century old. And with all that charm and character comes drafty windows.
I sat down at my machine the other night and started sewing random scraps together that had been left the sewing table.. Not long after - ta da! One draft snake was complete. A big improvement over the dish towels I normally use!
I didn't over think what pieces I was picking up so this went together quickly. I trimmed it down to 6 1/2" x the length of my window + 1/2", folded in half right-sides-together with a lining and stitched all around, leaving a gap at a short end. Turn, fill, stitch the gap closed, and done. For the filling I used crushed walnut shells, but any small scale fill with a bit of weight will work. (rice, beans, buckwheat, etc.)
Google eyes optional.
