some mindless but 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 one night and started sewing random scraps together that had been left on the sewing table..  Not long after - ta da!  One draft-stop snake was complete.  A big improvement over rolled up dish towels I'd say!

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" and backed with a matching sized rectangle of muslin for lining.  I folded in half right-sides-together lengthwise and stitched all around, leaving a few inches gap in 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 would work. Rice, beans, buckwheat.

Googly-eyes optional.
