Use those old denim jeans to make tassels!  It's easy with the PattieWack Tassel Maker, and it's so rewarding to recycled something you don't wear anymore, into something you can use to decorate your home, put it on a gift bag, or hang it on your tote! The first step is to cut up the old jeans and then use a rotary blade on a self healing mat to cut oodles of 1/2" strips from the denim.  Tie all the strips together with square knots and then wind into a nice ball.  Now you're ready to grab your Large PattieWack...

My little doxies love this soft and comfy round bed so much that I'm calling it a doggie donut! They are the sweet filling, and the blanket is built in so they simply crawl into their little donut domain to make a perfectly wonderful hideout!

Shibori dyed pillows made from batting? Who knew! I did an experiment with Fairfield's organic cotton batting and Tulip's blue one-step dye, and it came out beautiful! The batting is robust enough to hold up to sewing into a pillow, and the one-step dye saturated the batting into fabulous and luxurious home decor.
