I just wanted to say that this thread rox. Celephaiz, is your sister going to use a sewing machine, or do hand stitching? I would love to embark on a project like this, but I'm not sure I have the skills. I haven't really sewn fabric since that surfboard pillow I made in Home Ec class about 11 years ago. But, when the raw materials are a product of scheming free samples and dumpster diving, it's totally worth a try, no?
