Now cut your shell (outer part). Assemble the vest by following the directions on the pattern. It does not matter how hard you try, you will get feathers everywhere. Imagine the people that work in the down rooms that sit there all day filling baffles. I had to fill in once. I came out looking like a poorly plucked chicken. Oh, wear a face mask. Feathers up the nose are not nice either.
Cute idea, may try this, thanks

Truly feathers wash well - haven't you ever seen a bird taking a bath?
It is funny, us and them take baths....who else do you know that does?
So is this why I am "fluffy"

When I take a bath my "feathers (fat) fluffs"

LOL sorry I just could not pass this one up.

I do not think she has enough feathers for all the politicians that need it. Take care.

I used to sell the contents of homes when the families were putting their loved ones in a home and I came across a lot of cushions on chair seats that were made with feathers. The one owner told me that when you sit in a feather seat, your rump does not get hot, that it is cooling because it breaths. I think we could all use this on our sewing chairs!!! Why get a hot seat?

Thanks dunster, I needed a good smile and up beat tonight. That's a great idea, there are so many in this country right now that should have this method used. lol

I guess that is why I don't know what to do with it, no politicians!!
I'm sure a lot of us can give you the addresses of a couple dozen! :thumbup: :-D

We took a feather bed to a dry cleaner. I asked to have the fathers cleaned and put into pillows. I only got two pillows but was told they would be very, very expensive if we bought them.

LOL So true and we are bad :) I'm still laughing out loud ( I'm glad my neighbors can't hear me or they might just call the looney bin on me LOL) Why not make some throw pillows, cat / dog beds ????

take it to Washington d.c. there would be plenty of uses for it there ooooh bad me

If you do not want to deal with it, place it on FREE CYCLE, For sure someone would appreciate :) Sometimes we all get tired of something and just do not want, but there is one to take it just around the corner :)

cushion filling but don't forget to use feather proof ticking , you could also make some surplus pillows, both SO much better than these ghastly man made fillers.

I took apart a down eiderdown and did the above and "hoovered" them out in a "Henry" cylinder which was new.
you may like to wash or stove the feathers first.
