I called in to Spotlight and all they had was the filling (little polystyrene balls) for beanbags - obviously far too light and they recommended sand, too. Now I'm wondering whether I need to make an inner liner, so that the sand doesn't leak out. I'm planning to use a tightly-woven fabric, but would appreciate advice on this too!

I have just finished making the draught stopper - and it's working well! Because I'm placing it across a wide front entrance, it needed to be about 135 cm long, and it dawned on me that if I filled it with sand or anything else weighty, it would be really heavy to lift, especially as I was following a pattern that recommended having the fabric about 40cm wide. So I painstakingly cut up a small pile of clothes that were too shabby to go to the op shop, and filled it with small pieces of cloth. Filling it was an interesting challenge (I used a broom handle to push it down to start with) but easier towards the end.
