One of our finds during lockdown is cheese deliveries. I know, what a find, and quite a treat. We’ve had three so far and each time we’re encouraged to order another after tasting the fabulous British cheeses. They arrive well packaged, using WoolCool to insulate the packages. The pure wool insulation is reusable and if you look at #LetsBoxClever on social media, you’ll start to see how.
I’ve talked before about my mini iron, a birthday present this year, and how just by having a mini iron I’ll sew more - because having an iron near the sewing machine, is a real boon! What I quickly realised is that not having anything to iron on, was my newest dilemma.
I tried a towel, and while it was ok, it wasn’t great. Then I remembered the insulation from the cheese deliveries. I was convinced it would work, which to be honest was based on little more than enthusiasm.
So off I went to create.
I found some material that I thought would be wasted on face coverings, and made my ironing pad big enough to fit the material!
Before I cut the wool insulation, I thought it might be nice to leave the natural fibres on display. However once I cut it and saw the mess it left behind I quickly changed my mind!
It’s working really well, and hopefully will inspire more people to try this #LetsBoxClever idea.
