| My sister recently gave me a lot of polyester material and I am looking for something to do with it - any suggestions would be appreciated - I do not like to waste anything - I quilt a lot but this is not suitable for that - many thanks - Patricia |

Patricia,
I have actually seen a few quilts made out of just polyester fabrics- front, back and batting. It was actually really pretty. I think it was a wall hanging or just a decoration of some sort I really don't remember. What does the fabric look like, do you have a photo?
But other than that you could make tote bags, men's ties (if the pattern is right, although I have seen some really strange ties,  lol). Go with your imagination, I am sure you will come up with something and do take a photo of the item that you do make.

You could use it to make rugs if you have enough. Polyester, as we all know, wears like iron. You could get some really nice, washable, long lasting rugs out of it.
I have a great quilt made out of polyester. I've had it since I was alittle girls. I've used it on my bed, hung over a doorway, dogs have laid on it, it got left outside and rained on. It still looks brand new.
