    but other fabrics work too

  • informational · middle

    Lay the item flat

    (I like to cut off the bottom hem... but this is optional)

  • informational · middle

    Then, begin cutting strips roughly 1" wide

  • informational · middle

    Stop before you reach the end

  • informational · middle

    Continue cutting strips... leaving couple inches uncut at the end of each

  • informational · middle

    Cut all the way across when you reach the underarm

  • informational · middle

    You can also use a rotary cutter to cut the strips instead

  • informational · middle

    Make one diagonal cut at the first strip

  • informational · middle

    Continue cutting at a diagonal across all strips

  • informational · end

    This creates one long strip of fabric

  • informational · end

    Betcha can't stop at just one!
