Tutorial: Sew a gardeners’ kneeling pad

Working in the garden requires a lot kneeling, whether to plant your plants or to pull those pesky weeds that are always cropping up. Beth from The Renegade Seamstress shows how you can sew a garden kneeling pad to help protect your knees when they’re kneeling down to work in the garden. It’s filled with rice to create a softer spot for your knees than the hard (and sometimes rocky) ground, When you’re not using it, you can roll it up for easy storage.
