A few days ago, Jeanne posted a link for making t-shirt yarn. I noticed on the same website a very interesting technique for yo-yos.... I wanted to start a separate thread so it wouldn't get lost in the t-shirt yarn thread. Check out this method of sewing down the circle before gathering it- really cool! And Polly, it would have worked very well for your mouse ears- sorry we didn't stumble across this before you started those!
