You know Pinterest don’t you? The addictive time drain, where you spend so much time looking at all the beautiful things in the world you forget to eat? Well, Kerry over at Mylovebumps has set a monthly challenge, whereby you actually make something off your Pinterest board and join up with her #pinaddict linky.
I saw this draught excluder before Christmas and loved that it was made from an old pair of cord trousers (which I just so happened to have in my wardrobe). It is from Betz White’s Sewing Green
This is the original image I found.

This is my finished article (although I am going to add one of the belt loops from the cords so that it can be hung on the door handle when not in use). I managed to squeeze the whole thing out of one side of the jeans, so in theory, I do have enough left to make a matching one.
When I was making it yesterday afternoon, I had just finished stuffing it (with old carrier bags, socks with holes in and socks missing their partners), my two year old walked in and said, ‘that’s incredible’, I laughed and said ‘really’, he got embarrassed and said ‘no, not incredible that’s not what I meant’. Everyone’s a critic, eh?

Scraps of fabric for leaves on a felt background. You might recognise the spotty stuff as being very similar to a certain Giraffe’s tie
