a little while back Dolly posted some really cute doorstops, as soon as I saw them I knew I had to try it sew this is my new doorstop! 4 equalateral triangles & some long-grain rice & stuffing & here it is very effective too! & to think I bought the last one I had & it broke & it cost me $12. this one probably under $1

360639Nice use of those small scraps of fabric. Saw something like this they use as pattern weights. Just though if you accidentally run into this with your bare toes/feet it will not hurt as much as a brick. lol

89895This is a great one Loralyn. One of my friends made me one that looks like a handbag (black evening bag). They are very useful she bought a small bag of white sand from bunnings used for fish bowls put some in the bottom and ordinary stuffing on top. .Just another idea. Hugs Joyce

15141Well done. The ones i made in rehab (stroke) had river sand in them. I use them to hold my rulers extra from moving when i cut my fabrics, if you use nice patterned material like the ones you used -there is no need to emb. huggs marian
