Making shop rags

Gosh, just put one hand on each side of the seam and pull--we need to stay in shape out there! If someone may be watching, you could always sever a few of the first stitches beforehand. : )

I should be embarrassed to say this, but I pile old t-shirts in a box and take them to my mom to cut up when it gets full. She cuts them the same way every time - sleeves off and split, neck removed and the front and back cut roughly square and nicely folded. I end up with two neat little stacks - one small one of for application, and one large one for wiping off. I should add that I'm fairly particular by nature.... JP

I hope you bought her a good set of shears to use while doing this for you, Jape.

You'd have to email him, or me.

Is this a test?
