It's great doing it that way because I can get one looooonnnng spiral--so much fewer ends to weave in! It also allows me to vary the width, which I think adds texture and dimension to the pieces. The only drawback is how LONG it takes to cut up one shirt!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056704070616077536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-91893828982053865352007-05-02T11:35:00.000-05:002007-05-02T11:35:00.000-05:00How hysterical.

Lee has a ton of old t-shirts that are too far gone to be donated or anything. I think I better try this! Most of them are white - what if I dyed them all before I started? Have you ever dyed anything before?Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668108402070167138noreply@blogger.com
