Some Silliness Out of Boredom

It's pretty boring deconstructing uniforms.  You know how some people can peel an apple in one long string?  Guess what?!  I can do the same thing with the seams on the uniform!  Anything to help the process, right?  The main thing is I got all the green uniforms in one tub and all the desert ones in their tub!  Deconstructing saves space!  Yeah!

  2. There must be a special award for deconstructing or maybe a speed contest. You are sure to win!

  5. That's hilarious! I thought it was a drawing at first. Looks a LOT like one my grandson did yesterday of "a bird with four legs".

  6. I agree with the deconstructing being boring. How did you keep your mind busy? I like to buy wool garments at thrift shops to felt for wool projects...but first they must also be deconstructed before throwing in the washing machine. Ugh. I hate skirts with pleats...even though they are the ones with miles of gorgeous plaid wool!! I usually resort to it being a "TV" project...but it's summer and no good TV!!

  7. Too funny! My (huge) family sends most of their old blue jeans to me and I have a ton (really!!)that need to be deconstructed - are you free any time soon??

  8. Without reading the explanation, my first thought on seeing the pic was that you'd been making some strange, abstract quilt art!

    I too enjoy trawling through op' shops (Opportunity Shop - the Aussie equivelent of a thrift shop)- looking for interesting and quirky fabrics for craft projects.

  11. Sorry LaDonna, I've been out of pocket a bit and missed something. Why are you deconstructing uniforms?

    When I deconstruct, I use scissors and cut the seam out....really close so I don't waste. Toss the seam away and fold up the fabric pieces. As long as the pieces will be cut up for a quilt and not resewn to wear, it works fine. And there's less frustration for the deconstructor (me).

  13. Thanks for stopping by my blog--I found your fun blog. My grandma was a quilter, too, and I'm restoring several of her (very worn) quilts. I find it hilarious that you speak of "deconstructing" uniforms (great fabric by the way! lovely quilt that you made of uniforms). I get all my fabric from the flea market so I have spent a fair amount of time ripping apart (deconstructing) mostly shirts and skirts...resulting in a button collection and a labels collection. Waste not, want not, right?
    best, nadia
