I was just talking to DH about this!
I have been deep cleaning my sewing space and came across a tote full of flannel shirts that I had saved for 'a project' and decided to sit for awhile with DH while he is glued to the Indy 500 cutting them into usable pieces.
Being the wonderful, attentive man that he is; he asked what I was doing. I had reduced 6 shirts to 3 piles...
1 pile of 3" to 12" squares and strips for a quilt
1 pile of cuffs, collars, pocket, etc for purses/dolls/crafts
1 pile of scraps to small to make anything from
...when he asked what I was going to do with the scraps HE suggested I toss them out for the birds to use
I like the idea of using them for stuffing
