Dionne’s Draught Excluder 2019 - Part 1


Dionne’s Draught Excluder 2019 - Part 1

I know I have already blogged about making a Draught Excluder before but it was quite a while ago. This has come around as an old fashioned Barter exchange. Ideal for these times of Austerity.

Rough Tube Material









First you need material to make a Tube. This is to make the Body. Before you cut it out make sure that the Length will go across the whole of the Door.

Wrong Side Hemmed

















Marvellous. I have just started and already I have make a blunder. I am Hemming the edge of the material and have turned it the Wrong way.

Right Side
 
















The above photograph shows the way it should have been Hemmed. However I will be able to cover it up during overlapping the Tail End.

Blanket Stitch
 









I have placed the two edges together and Blanket Stitched along the length of the Tube. However I have not Sewn right along to the Ends as I want these to be more flexible.
