In the summer I cut all the old jeans to make shorts. With the left over leg part I made a template from news paper and cut lots of rectangles, then attached them like patch work quilt. Stuffed it with three old pillow.
This made a fab designer looking floor cushion, which my daughter lays on to watch tv....... If only I had more I could have made a full sized adult version. (heaven)
Not knitted but it was hand crafted, oh and with a little help from my friend sowing machine.
