Our craft group gets a lot of donations, and some of the fabric is just not suitable for any quilts or other sewing projects. That fabric goes into a special “Cat Pillows” bin. When I need to make more, I cut the fabric up into 14 to 16 inch squares, sew 2 together, leaving an opening, an then turn right side out. For stuffing we use fabric scraps, like trimmings from half square triangles, pieces of batting that are too small to sew together, pieces of fabric that are too small to do anything else with. We keep those empty pillows by our sewing table and when the pillow is full, we sew it shut and take it to our Cat Pillow Lady, who takes it to the animal shelter. It’s a great way to recycle scraps.
