I want to make pet beds. So I took the batting scraps and cut them into small squares. Lots and lots of small squares.
My daughter had some scrap flannel left over from pajama pants she made so I took her scraps and cut them into 22" x 26" pieces. If the scraps weren't big enough, I stitched pieces together to make the right sized pieces.
I sewed the pieces right sides together and left an opening big enough to get my hand through. I flipped the pieces right side out and ironed it flat.
I sewed another row of stitching about an inch away from the edge to make a finished edge making sure I did not stitch the opening shut.
Once I finished one, I wanted to make more. I ended up with enough flannel to make a total of four. I got them all done and I still had one half of a bag of batting scraps left.
I wish I would have taken a photo of the tree while I was there.
