I have a large bin of deconctructed shirts waiting for me to get "a round tuit". Love Bonnie Hunter- took a class with her at Vermont Quiltfest last Spring. I save the buttons in a jar, and cuffs and collars if there's a decent amt of fabric in them that can be removed from any interfacing. I've used the scraps (seams, plackets) as firestarters since I only buy 100% cotton shirts. My local Thrift has men's shirts for $1, and ties are cheap also so I've been collecting silk ties. I started saving shirt and tie labels also. If anyone can spare "a round tuit" - please send it my way before the ground thaws and I have to clean up the garden and yard? Goodwill prices are rediculous! I stopped there this week and prices were $8.99 and up for dirty and torn shirts!
