What to make from an old down jacket

Almost every wardrobe has outerwear that has long served its own or simply not to taste, but to throw it away is still a pity. If you push year after year down jacket To the far corner of the closet - it's time to give it a second life!





Editorial "Site" I wrote earlier about how to return to the former appearance of the jacket. But if you don’t intend to wear it, you can finally make room for the old outerwear and create a new useful thing!

What can be made out of an old down jacket?

1. Stools and chair pillows
   Now universal bedding for stool or chair is popular. Sewing the same houses will not be difficult, they will be a very convenient addition to the interior.

2. Sledging bedding
   This will help anyone who has small children. Lightning should be on top, you can use both the top and bottom of the coat. The length of your product should be equal to the length of the sled, so if necessary, you need to shorten it or sew it in the sides. You can sew Velcro or buttons to the litter so you can securely fix it on the sled.

3. Baby envelope
   Another great way to turn a down jacket into a useful item is to make a practical envelope for an infant. We make it on the same principle as the baby sledging litter. The result will justify the effort expended and still save you money!

4. Jackets
   If in your family the game of snow and snowman sculpting are mandatory winter attributes, then waterproof mittens from an old down jacket will become an indispensable thing. To sew such mittens, apply your hand to a sheet of paper and circle with a pencil, then make allowances of at least 3 cm from all sides and cut. After you need to reveal the details on these templates, sew them and at the end add a rubber cuff.

7. Pillow
   It is very easy to sew such a pillow. To do that, you need a down jacket, a needle and a thread and scissors. Cut two identical squares or rectangles of arbitrary size from the down jacket. Next, you need to fold the blanks on the front side of each other and stitch on three sides. Cut the down jacket into small pieces and place them inside the future pillow. Now you just need to sew up the 4th side - and the pillow is ready! And so that the pillow fits well into the interior, just put a suitable pillowcase on it.
