RE: The sustainable statement shawl

in NeedleWorkMonday4 years ago

Wunderbar! I often use old sweaters as filling for potholders or stuffing for toys if they are not pretty enough to reuse otherwise. I once read about women who made quilts from sock tops after the feet wore out.

A sock quilt sounds very funny, I have to google this!

I have often wondered about sock tops, and sometimes the body of the foot. The heels and toes seem to wear so much more quickly. Like you, I had mainly been using them as stuffing or wadding for inside quilting.
