Draught excluder

Last year I bought two bog standard draught excluders in T J Hughes for £1.99 each, it seemed a much easier and cheaper way than making a fabric tube and then buying the filling. They were purchased with two of my bestest friends in mind. One who was always complaining of a draughty door and the other who I knew would be jealous if she didn't get one too!

For the cover I used a new tea towel and an old baby blue gingham pillow case and was surprised how many patchwork squares it took. Forty four to be exact!
I did little flowery thingies for the ends and am quite pleased with the finished result. I'm now in the process of making the other one. I need to get it finished for Monday when they'll be descending on me en-route to our leisurely few days away exploring libraries and other interesting monuments *cough*

    Draught excluder looks good .... a couple of years ago I bought some yukky looking ones from Wilkinsons at 99p each and covered them with fabric samples bought in the sale locally. Think I'm de-draughted completely now!

    Enjoy your interesting monuments! (?)
