What could i make with sheepskin offcuts?

[bbdave]

I have access to sheepskin offcuts mostly small pieces but some quite large. I just don't know what I could use it for, any ideas?

Waist coat, blanket...
Take those small pieces and sew together into larger pieces, like this:

Already Ötzi had a striped jacket.

Insoles for boots and slippers. I get a bit of foot pain and sheepskin has been the best material I've found for warm supportive insoles.

+1 for the insoles @daveO Very good things are real sheepskin insoles. The fake ones are horrible.

I make my own slippers, and if you made an entire inner slipper, they'd improve a normal pair of houseshoes no end

Looking at the pieces I can see I think you could easily join them together to make mitts too. Really nice things on a cold windy day or even just for sitting around a campfire.

Another for Insoles, great things. if you are going to make some or supply big enough bits to be made into,.. price seems to be around £6 a pair. last I bought from sheepskin have been really good. Think they have changed the design a bit since. I wouldnt worry about the backing being slip resistant too much, mine are just like leather and have been fine.

Our Sheepskin Insoles with slip-resistant backing are perfect to add extra warmth and comfort to exsiting shoes, boots or slippers.

German boy scouts often use instead of insulation mats sheep hide pads, usually just in torso length, and with the head on a Wehrmacht tornister as pillow.

That works very well and is different to airmats pretty spark resistant.

It makes for lovely seating pads for chairs etc.
