It’s something I go back to again and again, any time I want to highlight a special fabric. I love its streamlined engineering and the fact that it really does only take 20 minutes!

How To: Remove any edges or elastic corners from sheets, first cutting and then tearing. This spiral method consists of mostly tearing. If you forget to stop at the corner and tear the strip off, not to worry you can certainly join the strips later, by following the instructions on my previous post here. Pick a Pocket Cozies.
