Thank you for your video. I made mine this morning. I'm from Cape town. I used old curtains🤪. The stuffing... I started cutting up the scrap fabric then switched to broken towels. Eventually I found an old tattered duvet... My hands are so sore. But it was worth it. Thank you thank you thank you.

I'm using an old feather (down) duvet. Here in south central Texas, USA, it's usually way too hot to sleep under a feather 'decker', except if you have the air conditioner on high!

I love your assistant. I have 3 of those that have discussions on who gets to assist or not. Thank you for your video. I have been given a lot of fabric and will be using it to make these with.

I live it that kitty makes himself at home upon you as you stuff the sides! Thanks for a great tutorial and entertaining dialogue!

Great idea and I’m sure we all could use one in our Prepper closet…..love the idea of scrap material since I have plenty of old bathrobes I got for making blankets but this would be a better use…..I hate those styrofoam popcorns …static clingers….it’s certainly safer to use then a crock pot that could go bad on you while you’re away from home……also we camp so I’d use it to cook in the camper while we go site seeing and not worry of a fire…….

funny how you mentioned the "water bottle", cause i was just thinking of doing this: make hot water in a solar box cooker, put the water in a japanese water metal bottle, which you can then put in the wonderbag...

Hi, I've only recently come across these fabulous looking Wonderbags!! My only question is about the type of fabric you use! Is there any difference between using 100% cotton or using polyester fabric? I have tons of cotton fabric, but never buy polyester because of the plastic involved!! I'd be grateful for your thoughts or guidance :0)

Wonderful video! This will be very easy for me to make. Can you use Cotton batting or stuffing as the padding? Or how about wool? I do a lot of DIY projects with fabric and and the scraps I do have I use for kitty toys for the local animal rescue groups, so I never have scraps but I do have yards of fabric I can make these with. Just trying to figure out other fillers so any suggestions would be appreciated. The idea is the density in the padding, correct?

Question: How big of a pot will this fit? I'm thinking a medium dutch oven would fit easily. Yes?

I've been thinking what to fill my soon-to-be-born Wonderbag with... I am not a fan of non-biodegradable things you need to buy (like those tiny white balls commonly used for bean bags...) so I loved your idea of using scrap fabrics!

It depends what stuffing you use, and if you decide to do patchwork or not. It also depends if you have ever sewn. But if you worked hard and didn't do patchwork you could make it in a day. :) hope this helped!

You need a pillow for the top.
