Crochet Me Crazy

I tried it out last night and it works great! I knew I would be cutting A LOT of circles and since blue jean material is pretty thick, I chose this particular cutter. It said you could cut fabric, paper, thin leather, ultra suede and other materials and ses a standard 28mm rotary blade so even though it was a bit pricey compared to the other choices...I figured I'd go for it and possibly save myself some heart ache.

Quilter's Rule Circle Cutter


I have been saving old blue jeans for a long time with the intention of making this quilt out of old blue jeans and material from the kid's old shirts. Alison hates getting rid of her clothes that she out grows! "Oh...I don't want to get rid of that- I LOVED that shirt!" My daughter says everytime I try to clean out her closet! Okay...well, its too small for you, girl! So I decided to save some of it and make this out of old clothes and jeans...it will be a nice way to remember time periods by.

Here's the pattern I found online:
