That is an awesome way to use scraps, old clothing, new clothing we are realistically not going to wear much, etc.

And, it's an awesome way to use fabric we bought but haven't use and probably won't, including bundle fabric that is not to our liking or likely to fit our needs.

Another option is to use our excess blankets, quilts, comforters, fleece, etc. to layer them and make sleeping bags.

A sheet of plastic to be folded and placed on the ground under the sleeping bag could be included as well. Or possibly a plastic envelope to put around the outside of the sleeping bag. Just thinking, but I have no info about these in use.
