fabric comes from the most unusual places...
I stopped at the Salvation Army on my way home today and found this pair of pants that are homemade and never been worn... the fabric is still like it was on the bolt. I tested them for content and they are all cotton. I think they are ugly pants, but look at the fabric I will glean from them. I think the fabric is lovely, just not for pants...
I will add it to my stash after I cut it into 10" sqs. 5 " sqs and 2 1/2" strips and maybe even 2 1/2" sqs. I paid 50 cents for the pants!

I agree - hideous pants, glorious fabric. I did the same in my own closet - I had made a Nehru style jacket and drawstring pants (see how old I am????) out of cotton many moons ago and have now cut them up into squares and strips for the stash. Phew - I NEVER wore the outfit!!! What was I thinking????
