    DIY Flannel projects for you and your dog! Using the book Crafting With Flannel, I made my own projects. Sharing more projects from friends. #MyRepurposedLife #repurposed #flannel #projects #easy #craftingwithflannel via @repurposedlife

    It's time for our Monthly Thrift Store Decor roundup! My DIY Flannel scraps projects are made from my old and tattered flannel work shirt.

    Do You Wear Flannel Shirts?

    I wear flannel shirts a lot while I'm working. They are comfortable, and great for layering in cooler weather. This DIY flannel shirt is very old and tattered. I would have already tossed it, but after I got my friend Sarah's book, Crafting With Flannel, I knew that I should save the old flannel shirt for some projects.

    BUY the BOOK on Amazon!

    Be sure to check out all the fun projects from my friends . . .

    This is our Thrift Store Day, be sure to check out all the projects below.

    Lulu LOVES that toy that belongs to her brother Charlie. It's the perfect size, however I can't find anything like it. Do you see how she's standing on it? She's trying to keep Charlie from getting it.

    I think she loves it so much because it fits her mouth perfectly. It's not too big, plus it's not very thick.

    who me?

    While Lulu and Charlie weren't looking, I grabbed the small Christmas toy and drew a pattern. Then I traced the pattern onto the old flannel shirt while positioning the fabric where the pattern matched up.

    How to: DIY Flannel Dog Toy

    diy
    • Lay out fabric with right sides together
    • Trace & cut out using a pattern
    • Stitch around dog toy
    • Leave a section unstitched in order to fill dog toy with stuffing
    • Turn toy right side out
    • Press with iron
    • Add stuffing
    • Insert squeaky button
    • Hand stitch the end closed
    • Topstitch for durability and visual asthetics
    stitch around dog toy

    Because my sewing machine is over 40 years old, it doesn't work so good. I chose to do two rows of stitching. Do you see how the right side was left open?

    After turning it right side out, I pressed the diy flannel dog toy with the iron, now it's time for stuffing. Do you see that poor old toy? Lulu gutted it months ago. It's one of her oldest toys. We call it Roly Poly. I chose to use the stuffing from the old toy so the new toy may seem more familiar to her.

    I didn't have the heart to take the squeaker out of Roly Poly, so I removed one from a $$ Store toy. You probably have an extra one somewhere, right?

    Of course, Miss Lulu Mae was watching my every move while I was putting it all together.

    Topstitching really made a huge difference in the way the diy flannel dog toy looked in the end!

    Have you seen the Dog Bed Toy Box I made?

    Sarah's book, Crafting With Flannel has great images and easy to follow instructions for 55 FUN projects, something for everyone.

    Repurposed Flannel Shirt Pocket

    Although my pocket was a little different, I followed Sarah's directions to make a DIY Flannel Biz Card Holder.

    Buy Crafting With Flannel by Sarah Ramberg (Sadie Seasongoods) so you can make your own amazingly easy DIY Flannel Projects.

        Thanks so much!
        The best part? My friend owns Lulu's brother. So, she gets regular play dates, but I only have to pay the upkeep for ONE schnoodle!!!

      How fun! Great idea for a doggie toy and flannel is tough enough it would probably be able to withstand our Ona.
