I received a box of (mostly) aloha shirts for making the memory quilt. There are 14 shirts and they somehow all seem to be different sizes. I've cut up a few and even that part is more challenging than I would like. So far I have unintentionally put holes in one sleeve, one front panel, and my left index finger.
Cutting up the shirts is surprisingly soothing. When we were kids, my brother & I would take apart anything and everything. (Let's not talk about putting any of it back together.) This feels like one last bonding session of taking stuff apart together.
When I was sewing a small plush thing this week I managed to stab my finger, my hand (multiple times), and my shoulder... And that's not including all the close calls.
