(no subject)

I wonder whether I could make something like this, or have something made. The polystyrene beads go pretty cheaply on eBay. It would be cheaper than buying viscoelastic memory foam on eBay or from IKEA. Not entirely sure how comfortable it would be. I know when I did have a beanbag chair I sometimes slept on it and found it quite comfortable, but I was younger then.

I still want a sewing machine. Maybe I can borrow shevek's one for a few weeks at some point. I'm sure if I plan I could get a lot of sewing done in a fairly short time.

I wish to sew/have sewn:
-fleece curtains for windows in this house (which is not double-glazed)
-some sort of beanbag bed holder thing
-a long comfy t-shirt material nightdress
-one or two long sleeveless black (or maybe deep dark purple) silk gowns that would work as nightdresses or as floaty summer dresses
-a good tailored jacket or two - one wool, one velvet? (this is probably too hard for me)
-an ankle-length plain black kilt (not one with a tartan) (also probably too hard)
-a scrap skirt or two
-a fleece duvet cover (all the warm!)
-monster pyjamas, with feet in them

That's just what I can think of at the moment, off the top of my head.
