Well, they are cut up, washed and dried.

If I'd been willing, I probably could have gotten more out of them, but when I met resistance, I went around. So wherever there was anything bonded that didn't easily pull off, I cut around it. I didn't open seams.

What I got was still plenty for what I need. And a baggie of buttons. Cutting into a couple of them was almost painful - they were as nice, or nicer, than some of the ones DH wears to work! A quick jab with the scissors and the dye was cast.

Next I will have to look in women's for reds/purples/blues...

Really? Somebody wore this? Looks like bad upholstery fabric.
