Did you know they sell/recommend plastic bottoms that fit the patterns? I have one out of clear plastic for the pattern I have - it was supposed to be a diaper bag. You could get one for the next one and reuse it from bag to bag for her. <br />I also second the quilt/drapes on the wall idea. Before we painted/recaulked our old house, we hung a blanket on the front windows to keep the front bedroom from being so cold. It does work.Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163175961766563965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-76438756329529189042010-12-17T03:23:55.173-05:002010-12-17T03:23:55.173-05:00"I used some big fat upholstery piping that I..."I used some big fat upholstery piping that I had (why? why did I have that?)"<br />That really made me chuckle.<br /><br />This is a great bag for Mario's Mom.

I like that you are making Mario's a nice bag that she will adore. Regarding your back walls. Back in the 70's during the energy crisis one of the tricks mentiones in publications such as Mother Earth News was to hang old quilts along exterior walls, or a wall of heavy drapes to help insulate or stop the wind much the way they used tapestries in old England manors and castles--brick sucks as insulation It is helpful by adding another dead air space. Another thing we do here in my home is to use in the rec-room one of those oil-filled radiator style heaters. There are no flames and no exposed coils but they heat radiate heat like crazy. We even have a cracked open window(with the heater in front )and an exhaust fan running all the time since my husband is a smoker. The room is quite comfey.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.com
