What can be done from an old coat?

Do not rush to part with the old coat, it may still be useful to you. We picked up for you some practical ideas for remaking an old coat.

Warm pillows

From the old coat you can sew sofa cushions:

• Brush the coat, and then spread it;
• From large parts, cut 4 parts, measuring 30 by 30 cm;
• Fold the parts with their faces to each other and grind along the entire perimeter, leaving a small hole for turning out;
• Turn out and fill the pillow with a regular padding polyester;
• Sew the open area manually with a blind seam.

Soft coasters

Small details of an old coat can make wonderful coasters for a tea mug. Cut out several coasters of different sizes and shapes. Slices are processed with an oblique inlay, decorative tape or tied with bright woolen threads.

Toys for kids

Shreds of fabric from remaking old coats are suitable for soft toys. Sew a dog, a bunny, a kitty, or a teddy bear with your child. You don’t need a pattern for this, just draw the contours of the toy directly on the fabric, cut out two parts and sew them manually with a buttonhole stitch. Buttons or beads are suitable for the eyes, nose and mouth.

From the old - the new!
