I used one of my scarf ‘tubes’ when I had to go shopping. It’s quite chunky and double thickness - and I doubled it. DD’s told me it was still no good as it was woven fabric. That the best thing to use was baby nappy liners (unused obviously!)

Oven paper: 30 cm. Pleat. Fold short ends round two rubber bands. Staple.

It's what we're doing here in Italy while STILL waiting for the proper ones to reach us common mortals.

I read that you can make them out of bras but you have to be careful and only use the left cup otherwise you'll end up being a right tit grin

Apologies to anyone who finds the language offensive.

I’m not at all sure how effective homemade ones are - better than nothing I suppose - but dh so clearly wanted one that yesterday I found a pattern online, on the crafty quilter website, and made him one out of 2 layers of an old pillow case - very high thread count satin cotton.
It didn’t take long at all, and luckily I had thin elastic for the bits to go round lugholes.

After asking dds and their blokes whether they’d like any, I now have 4 more to make - 5 if I do one for me, too.

I’d been pleased with myself for using up out-of-date gluten free flour and yellow split peas - never thought I’d be using up old pillowcases too!
