We hear a lot on here about saving scraps to make pet beds, so why are we throwing away the batting. It makes beautiful pillows. If I were to make a pillow for my own use, I would shred the batting by just pulling it apart in all directions. (This can take the place of a Dammit Doll.
) I sew the pillow cover and leave a not-too-small opening; then tuck all batting scraps into this as they are created. I've even given some of these to the food pantry. Someone there needs a pillow.
