Sew a kneeler
No more sore knees for a gardener.

1 From the PVC fabric, cut two 40cm x 20cm pieces, two 5cm x 20cm pieces and two 5cm x 40cm pieces.
2 Place the right sides together, and sew the pieces together to form a ‘box’ shape, leaving one of the short ends unstitched.
3 Turn the fabric the right way round, fill the ‘box’ with loose filling and sew up the final seam by hand, inserting a length of cord to make a handle.
