The word "Home made" is something which attracts every one. We had around nearly half dozen Recron old pillows which was damn slim post usage. We had to stack two to three pillows to compensate a single new pillow. I have been thinking whether to throw it away or do something with that.
Thought of Recycling the synthetic cotton inside the pillow. After opening the cloth, we removed and discarded pillow cloth and the hard layer of synthetic cotton alone. The soft layers of synthetic cotton was collected and dried up in open air for a day. We need not fear like the traditional cotton as it will create dust allergies. These synthetic cotton will be staying together and will not fly much under fan too.
Then comes the major part in making a pillow using a good cloth. My suggestion would be to use a synthetic or satin material. The tailors would be able to make the pillow cloth leaving a small opening to stuff the synthetic cotton.
Now , with the new pillow cloth, we can stuff the cotton and once stuffing is complete, close the opening with simple stitching using needle and thread.
