Occasionally
you can go off-piste and find a map on something other than an Ordnance Survey
sheet. Postcards are one example. Or the good old holiday souvenir tea towel. I
have a couple of these stashed away – my Mum’s collection from our 1980s
holidays in the south west that she didn’t like to spoil.
These
geographical tea towels make ideal pillow covers – they are just the right size. This means that you can put your old holiday
memories to use without having to spoil them through wiping your pots on
them.
All
you need to do is cut an old pillow case in half along the seams – then sew one of the pieces onto the back
of the tea towel. I hand back-stitched
mine using my old Sylko cotton, leaving the bottom open to insert the pillow.
Now
they make a comfy cushion for a bucket chair.
