ideas for extra white drapery darkening fabric?
Donate to the Girls Scouts for making "sit-upons" .... flat bags
into which the scout will insert an old magazine (but NOT a quilting mag!!) ... these keep the scout's seat off the damp ground at the campfire. She can sit upon the pad! Ask a nursing home or veteran's hospital if there is a need for flat cushions for wheel chairs ... those curtain liners could be the bottom layer. Make drawstring bags for carrying wet swimsuits, and for toiletries. TTFN, PAT QUILTKITTY wrote: Anybody have any crafty ideas on what I could use a bunch of drapery lining scraps for? It's got that, sort of rubbery side on one side. I'm leaning toward throwing them out bec I know I'm not quilting with them. Thanks, Quiltkitty |

So the other practical idea was..... raincoats for hamsters? Snicker. (Once
toured a fur factory in Denmark. In among all the minks and chinchillas was a fur-lined cotton coat, and the fur was --Hamster!)

How about cutting circles out and making them into grippers for opening jars? Maybe you can embroider something in the middle? Sell them as Round Tuits? How about cutting out flowers or stars and making your shower curtain three dimensional? Back sheets of them with double sided fusible interfacing, then fuse them to boards to hold your fabric while tracing templates, like sandpaper. Cut them to fit your kitchen drawers as liner fabric. Use it as a backing sheet when pounding flowers. .. ..... ..... all thunked out. Keep a large piece or two in your purse to fold into a water cup and/or funnel in an emergency. (Either to fill yourself or your car radiator or coolant reservoir.) Make raincoats for hamsters or other tiny pets. If they're the slick plasticky kind sew patches to the back of your pants and slide on the carpet. Wheeeee! Watch the stairs! Use them as overnight gum holders so you won't ruin the finish on your bed post. JA Two practical ideas out of four - not bad |
