Great , I forgot the name of it, but it is used to keep the draft from the doors out. Does anyone know what I am talking about??? If you do and you know of any patterns, I would greatly appreciate it.. Thanks

draft dodger http://www.fiber-images.com/Free_Things/Patterns/Free_Sewing_Patterns/free_sewing_patterns.htm#draft%20chaser This is a really basic pattern, I've seen some really cute ones, I did one as a long sausage dog, just cut out the head at one end, stuffed it, added a tail and ears. Laura

Laura, Did you stuff them with sand like the pattern calls for or something else?

I made mine with batting but I think if it is near a high traffic area sand wouldn't get knocked around as much. Dorothy |

| I made two of the door draft dodgers (not sure of their names) and made them both to look like those little Weiner dogs. They were cute so a couple of people got the mfor Christmas as well. |
