The red satin has stains I’d like to remove.  The blue velveteen is in better
shape.

Oh, how special.  Stuffing--avoid cut up pantihose--remember when we used to do
that?  Avoid any foam rubber but the poly stuffing out there should work well.
As far as cleaning--with the satin and velveteen - two unique fabrics--not sure
I would dry clean either.  Just washing by hand may be ok--but it would need to
be pressed and that would be a problem.  I have never used the drycleaner stuff
that is put into the dryer---anyone out there try one of those kits?  Perhaps a
good airing out!

I would be interested in what you decide to do.  Have fun

Subject: [fhs-65] Cat pillow

For the sewers in the group.  I am attaching a photo of a cat pillow my grandma
Cusick made for me when I was a kid.  The insides have turned crunchy and it
needs cleaning.  The red is satin and the blue velveteen.  I plan to remove the
stuffing, clean and restuff.  What is the best way to clean it?  I’m afraid a
dry cleaner might ruin it.  It’s about 60 years old.  Also, is there any type
of stuffing I should avoid?
