Lounge cushions? I'm picturing something you would use at the small of your back when sitting down. Is it like that?

I agree with the tissue holders being fast and easy. I spent the morning making about 12. You can get really creative with left over scaprs of fabric in your stash.

You could put a loop down before the first folded square - it would come out on top when you flipped it thru, I think?!?

how about the jewelry bags you make from 2 circles and put pockets on the inside; they have a drawstring to pull closed. I have seen the same idea but use it for a traveling sewing bag instead of jewelry

I am in the process of making potato bags for my co-workers. They are VERY fast, but they do take more than a little fabric. Also you have to be sure you use only 100% cotton in your fabric, thread and batting. Here is the link to the ones I am doing; the only thing I changed is I am cutting them 12.5 x 22 instead of 10 x 22.

Also these coasters can be increased in size to 8 x 8 to make hot pads.

There are other things that would work great. You can make a needle holder that goes around the wrist or over the finger; pincushions, et cetera.

Hope this helps.

I haven't read the complete thread yet, but I'm thinking about those precious blue and white bookmarks. That would be great.
