Today's quick tip is based on something that happened in my home today. When we got up this morning, my husband asks me to look at the foot of the bed.
There, in the fitted sheet, is a huge hole. (A toe must've caught and ripped it.)
I admit, these were my favorite sheets. Cranberry red flannel.
Well, the top sheet is still good, so no worries there, but the bottom sheet was ruined. I start to take it off, and realize I have a good 2-3 yards of nice red flannel. So I cut out the hole, and cut off all the elastic edges so I'm left with a large piece. (After washing, of course!)
Ideas of what to do with it:
* cut into squares with pinking shears and use to decorate the tops of canning jars I give away.
*there's enough material to make a nice flannel skirt.
* cut into pieces for dust rags.
*cut it down, hem and make a dresser scarf.
*cut into strips, braid and make a braided rug.
Well you get the idea. If you have any more ideas, add them in comments!
