My new Door Stop.......

I have renewed my subscription to SewHip magazine and this year the included gift is a clothkits doorstop. I do not actually have a door stop so I was quite keen to had a go at this. I did change how to make the handle. Instead of the folding and ironing I decided to make it into a tube, turn it through and then top stitch it. I made this at my sewing group and the iron, quite frankly, is rubbish and the fabric is quite thick so folding it and pressing was simply not working. I think it still looks good. The door stop stitched together really easily and I am really pleased with the final shape.

I then filled it with a bag of rice. There looked to be too much rice but the door stop is bigger than I thought and it only half filled the door stop. I had fun making this door stop and I was a bit sorry once I had finished that the fun had stopped. It now sits happily on the curve of the attic stairs waiting to be needed. Looks very stylish too.
Has anyone else made this door stop or any other from a tutorial?

I had the same doorstop kit with my subscription too but haven't made it yet. In fact you've just reminded me about it, must add to my to-do list.
