Tried making a jacket from a thrifted wool blanket and it worked better than expected
I had this heavy wool blanket from a yard sale that was too scratchy to use. Instead of a pattern, I just laid a jacket I already liked on top of it and cut around the shape, adding about an inch for seams. I used my basic sewing machine and some thick thread from a craft store in Tacoma. The whole thing took maybe three hours and it's now my warmest coat. Anyone else tried making clothes from non-fabric materials?

Ever try sewing with old canvas drop cloths?

Sewing with old drop cloths sounds like a great way to make a bag of dust. That heavy canvas is probably full of grit and paint flecks. Good luck getting that through a machine without breaking a needle.
