Try a chef's hat, kids and adult sizes. Last night I made a draft-stopper for my front door. Simple to make a tube about 40" long, fill with sand. I used duck tape (comes in several deco colors & designs now) to seal the end. My plan is to cover the liner with a vinyl casing, but I didn't have heavy duty needles last night.
Another nice, easy to make item - log carrier for bringing firewood into the house. I use heavy-weight canvas,cut a rectangle, hem on 4 sides (or another option: instead of hemming, double the canvas and stitch around edges,even quilt it if you want). Then add carry handles of folded canvas strips (2 of them, about 1 1/2" wide by 12" long each). Be sure to reinforce the seams where handles are attached. The carrier dimensions should be length of firewood (about 18") by 40" or so. Make it big enough to carry 6 logs or so.
Crib quilts and lap throws (good for wheel chairs & baby strollers).
