Magnetic draught excluder

We have a metal front door to our home, which over the course of several years had warped with the heat. We found it hard to close and had it fixed. This left a gap in between the two doors. .
Thinking we would have to get stick on draught excluder did not sit well..
Dave suggested that I made one, using magnets, and I came up with the idea of using magnetic handbag closers to fix it in place.
I measured the edge, cut material with 1/4" seams, attached the bag closers, 5 spaced evenly, filled it with kapok and sewed it closed.
Result!!!!! The draught excluder fits perfectly and we are waiting for a bit of draught to test it out.
Also today is our 32nd wedding anniversary. .
Thank you Dave for putting up with me love you loads xxx
