I repaired my cat’s favourite bed.

It had been washed and having been through the machine a few times it was all lumpy and some spots weren’t padded anymore. I opened up a small hidden section of the seam, gutted it and restuffed with polyfill from an unwanted pillow. Sewed it back up and it will be much more comfortable.

I tried to refluff the fleece outer but the combs I had just pulled at the fibres. I need to find the generic tangle teezer because it works a lot better for restoring sherpa fleece.

I replaced the torn base of my dogs bed. Sewed a piece of the previous dogs woolen blanket over it.
