I too had a closet full of bating scraps. Well, we got a puppy a few months ago and wanted a doggie bed for her. I had been given some fabric scaps like you make slip covers out of only it wasn't enough to do anything with. I made a big pillow case and stuffed it with batting and sewed the end shut. Its probably a little lumpy cause of the different types of batting, but she doesn't care and it save me around $30 bucks or so.
