Wanted - an old down or synthetic jacket for making down booties.

Mods - apologies if this is in the wrong place!
Does anyone have an old down or synthetic jacket that has given up the ghost that they dont want/need anymore, size not important, trying to do it on a shoestring, although beer tokens exchanged!
Mrs E has recently obtained an old Brother (in excellent working condition) industrial sewing machine with a view to doing some MYOG. She suggested maybe making some down booties that might be good for the odd BAM and other jaunts that are planned. I did suggest using her old sleeping bag with a view to getting a new one, but got that look over the top of the specs...as you do!)
Might have been done before on here elsewhere but thought we would have a go and see where it takes us. (Have you seen the price of some the booties available commercially?)
Appreciate anything you might have that is no longer used etc. (postage covered if you can let me know and I'll ping over cost via PP)
Thanks
