It’s a simple and practical way to recycle small amounts of wool fleece and yarn that will felt — via 7 Yaks Design

You could make a longer and thinner one for a credenza. See my point? — via CraftyPod

Let’s say you had no interest in sewing until you were 26 years old and living 3,000 miles away from your expert seamstress mother. Let’s say the first time you actually attempted to thread a sewing machine is after your partner buys you a top-of-the-line sewing machine for Christmas.
