I decided we needed something a little heavier duty than my oven draft solution for the front door. I’m pleased with the end result: the legs of one pair of old jeans sewn together and stuffed loosely with other cast-off clothing. It keeps the cold air out, stays in place, and doesn’t show dirt.
Come back tomorrow for a more frivolous use of cast-off denim =)

I am afraid that jean leg looks a little too enticing…my 2 year old would be dragging it around the house :-)

@ Mama King – I’m pretty surprised my kids haven’t tried that, actually – maybe because it’s heavy?

So cute! Clara would love to have a handbag like that! She’s always walking off with mine… and usually dumping the contents out all over the floor!
