I love this idea! I modified this a bit by using recycled materials. One side is a piece of jeans from an old retired pair of jeans, and the other side was cotton materials that I had on hand. Inside, for the batting, I used a couple of wash clothes that were warn. I was able to get 11" squares for the outer materials, and I cut the wash clothes to 10 1/2". This made a pretty thick product, especially around the edges, so I was unable to sew the final seam around the edge.
I think for the next try I will still use the jeans and cotton fabric for the outside, but for the inside use just one wash clothe and one piece of a 100% cotton t-shirt. I also think I will try trimming the darts to eliminate some of the thickness around the darts.
I enjoyed this project and the opportunity to recycle some fabrics. Thanks!
