After making one draft excluder for a friend, who had recently moved house and had a very wide door, for which a normal draft excluder would be useless, it cascaded into several. As every time I mentioned draft excluders the person i told said ‘Ooh, I could do with some of those’.
Tip
After the first lot where I sewed down a short edge and one long side, I realised that it was so much easier to sew down the long side, then pull the stuffing through and seal the ends afterwards. Yeah!!
I used thick wadding to stuff them as it can be rolled and easily pulled through the centre. It also gives a much smoother appearance to the finished item. Using stuffing makes them lumpy and look like Nora Batty’s stockings.
Each takes half a metre of fabric, preferably curtain weight or heavier and 1 metre of thick wadding rolled up.
