Draft Stoppers

Everyone needs a draft stopper.

They are needful and easy to make, and a good project to give some sewing practice.

This is a very simple one I made using the pant leg of a pair of jeans.

I sewed one end (seam inside), filled partly with pinto beans (heavy and cheap), and some quilt batting. You could use small stones, rice or sand in a bag, and rags. Anything that will weigh it down and insulate. (Yes, this one is dirty, they are a couple years old.)

Then I just did a double seam at the other end (the end of the pant leg).

Very durable, next to nothing to make and keeps the draft out!

This one is soooo cute! It’s made with scraps.

Here are some really, really CREATIVE ideas!

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
