Several neighbors have given me old mattress pads so I can line my thin curtains. This little trailer in New England is a bit drafty!
I am a Waste Not Wont Not person so set the edges aside and pondered what to do with them. I glanced at one of the bigger ones (queen size that wraps far down an extra thick mattress) and decided it was rather fetching material. Most inviting in it softeness. And do I own a snood? No, but now I do and it was easy as pi!
I used the entire piece all 'round and folded it doubl it for extra warmth. A simple seam at the long edges, turn rightside out to hide, and add some wonky french knots
made from embroidery floss since I have no yarn or any such fat stuff, and voila, my very own make do fashion.
my hair is happiest in a ponytail so I made a back door for it, lol.
