    I love this idea: I've got some fabric just begging to become parcel wrapping! so beautiful!

    (shan't waste it on MiL's motherday pressie though: she'd just say 'oh, did you forget to buy paper?' :rotfl:)
    Yeah, it is OS, but it's not (unless you ask for it back once they've opened it:rotfl:)

    My Mum would also assume I had forgotten to buy paper too
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

  • Did you click on my linky? I love all the different things to do. Especially the bags.

    That's so funny :rotfl:I didn't realise it was a link DOH! I just googled FUROSHIKI

    I'll go and have a look now. Thanks again, I've already made a lovely bag for myself :beer:

    You could cut them up and either turn them into rag rugs or knit with them. Cut them from the outside in a long thin spiral strip to get the longest run of "yarn". Knit shopping bags or cushions using thick needles.
