I have Bonnie's 2 books and love them. Working on 2 texas braids now.
My work jeans are almost always purchased resale and lately I've had to get 'new' ones "that fit" - KWIM? :( :( :(
So my jeans (and everyone else in the house jeans) that don't fit or actually wear a bit are cut up into 6 1/2" squares. Jeans that are still in really great shape are donated back to a charitable resale shop.
MARY mentioned ties? Ahhhh....yes.....I have a huge collection of them too... :)
My Problem is I have to stop COLLECTIONS and start USING.
