Door Draft Dodger
A Door Draft Dodger or Door Snake is used to keep drafts from creeping into your house from under your doors. Place it on the floor and push it up against the door bottom. It is constructed of a tube of tightly woven fabric and filled with sand. The length is determined by your door width.
1 piece tightly woven lining fabric 8” x door width + 6”
Piece together quilt blocks about 8” wide by the width of your door + 6”.
sand or cat litter
ribbon tie
Fold the lining fabric in half lengthwise and with small stitches seam along bottom and side. Stitches should be tight enough to keep sand from leaking out. Turn right sides out. Fill with sand. Over-filling may cause seams to burst. Sand should not be packed tight. It should make the draft dodger pliable and thick enough to fill the gap between the door and floor. Close and sew the open end closed.
Fold the outer cover quilted fabric in half lengthwise, right sides together and seam along bottom and side. Turn right sides out. Turn down open end edge to the inside of the tube and top stitch. Place sand-filled lining piece into outer cover piece. Secure end with ribbon tie. Place under door.

Quilting for Charity http://snugglesproject.org/ - Free Crochet, knitting, Quilting, and Sewing Patterns for Snuggles Projects - Create a security blanket for the innocent victims in animal shelters. The security blankets are called "Snuggles." Each animal would get a Snuggle to cuddle up with to feel warmth and comfort. Most shelter animals are kept in areas with stainless steel braces and hard plastic flooring or even bare concrete floors. The Snuggles would allow them to have a little reprieve from the coldness of the pen they are kept in. Snuggles not only give physical comfort but psychological comfort as well. And not only for the animals - the tens of thousands of kind-hearted people around the world who make them for the animals receive so much satisfaction from their work as well. Many have experienced the thrill of getting their friends, their family, their school or camp children, the elderly in their community involved in the Snuggles Project. The wonder of the Snuggles Project is how it bridges generation gaps and opens doors to community involvement.
