Don't throw out those old feather beds. Repurpose them into new pillows for a couch or bed. I painted the cover years ago,and hated to tear it apart but the fabric was not strong and rips were forming and feather were falling out fast an furious.So it was time to rip the cover open and save those light weight feathers.
I decided the best place for me was in the garage with no wind to hamper my tearing up the old feather bed. I did not need feathers flying all over the back porch,and my dog getting feathered up at the same time. What a mess but fun time for my dog.
I also didn't want the neighbors think I was plucking chickens in my backyard, with all these feathers floating toward their backyards.
Stay tuned going to make pillows this week ~ now what fabrics will I decide on?
