Simple to make doorstop ideas please

[MaggsS]

Hi,

I've been looking for a couple of those fabric doorstops for my french doors but the ones I like are so expensive.

Any ideas how to make one for someone who isn't that good at sewing?

Thanks

there are a few diffrent tutorials on the interwebs

square one

oh fransson doorstop tute

I haven't made one but its on my list of things to try to make.. I'm not great at sewing but I am just learning.

Oh I love the square ones.

That's just what I was looking for.

Not very practical in the sewing department either but I'm willing to try.

I love them too, thanks, I'm going to have a go.

If you subscribe to Sew Hip this month you get a free Clothkits pattern and fabric for a doorstop. I've literally just opened the envelope and out it fell. Looks v simple. It's a green fabric with apples printed on it - quite sixties/seventies feel to it. Would you like it?

[snickersnack]

It's just like the square ones, except a bit more tapered towards the top.

making these is really simple so give it a go...
or...
you can do what my friend did
get a brick
cover in wadding
wrap in fabric and stick with sewsimple or other glue suitable for fabric!

Oh that sounds great snickersnack. Don't you want to make it yourself?

My mum made me one from a brick covered with canvas work, on plastic canvas.
