Upcycling during COVID_19 quarantine

I’ve been working from home since March 12, 2020 due to the coronavirus. I’m finally getting into project mode! Several months ago I purchased the pillow stuffing (or fluff, as I like to call it) to fix up a pet bed that had seen better days. The blue flannel pet bed has been a favorite among our furry family for several years. It had become quite flat, with a seam coming loose at one end.

For months, I’ve been looking at the bag of fluff and the deflated pet bed that had seen better days

Today, I finally got around to fixing it up! I sat outside in the sunshine and stuffed it full of new pillow stuffing. I don’t own a sewing machine so I just hand-stitched the opening.

It’s now full and fluffy again ready to provide a cozy sleeping spot for our cats and dogs for a few more years.

I’m including a couple of before and after photos. Maybe I’ll get around to putting new buttons on that work blouse that’s also been waiting for a touch up? What projects are you working on now that you’re home?
