You are very welcome. I love using things for other than what they were intended. I'm working on making a twin bed into a bench with storage right now. I have a childs chifforobe I plan to turn into a play kitchen. I just need to find the time to do all the ideas that are running around in my head. It gets rather busy up there sometimes. :)

What about dish towel pillows!
A modern version of the doiley on end tables or night stands.
You could sew a number of them together and make a table runner.
Or individually as place mats.
Sew ends of a couple together and gather onto a tube top to make a sundress for your little girl.
Add ties to the top (about a third of the way in from corners) and about half way down the sides for a little girls apron. Then add little ties to the top corners, fold them to the front and tie together with a bow as decoration.
The possibilities are endless.
