Random Quick Tip!

Pillow Form Stuffing
I like to make pillow forms with tiny scraps from my sewing. I keep every single little scrap of fabric, batting and thread. If the fabric is too small for even a scrap quilt or applique project, I throw it into a small bucket and when the bucket is full, I dump it into an old pillowcase. When I need stuffing for a pillow form, I can use it in that pillow form along with polyester Fiber Fill. It adds weight and you can fill the corners with the polyester fiberfill since that is easier to pack into the corners.
