reusing lining in men's ties
I am in the process of taking men's ties apart for different projects. I hate throwing away anything that I can re-purpose. Any one have any ideas on re using the lining in the ties? any ideas would be helpful.

I use lots of "trash fabric" as foundation for blocks or strips, but I doubt if the tie lining would be suitable for even that. I guess the cat pillow idea is the best one. I've made quite a few pillows with fabric scraps inside, and found them to be really comfortable on the outdoor chairs and in the car. I've kept a few for myself.

You can use them for foundation blocks. All you have to do is zigzag them together & then cut your foundation blocks the size you want them. As you lay them out, lay the large end down first & lay a small end next to it & zigzag together. Continue this till you get them all sewed together & then cut your desired size of squares.
