Thanks for sharing, great idea! You can also make the dry cloth for swiffer sweeper with terry cloth and elastic or a drawstring, then just toss into the wash!

I would bend a metal coat hanger to simulate the duster and use a tie to attach it or even a snap. Will have to think on this one.

Maybe mine is sewn too wide but I had trouble keeping mine on the handle, not just while I was shaking it out.

Not quilting but a great "reuse/recycle" for sweaters
