I thihnk firstly I cut off the hem at the bottom of the leg, which allowed me to rip open the side seams. I then rip the side seams open all the way up to the waistband, which I cut off. This leaves me with 4 leg pieces, which I then remove the pockets from, with the aid of a seam ripper. Then I just make a wee cut for each strip in the bottom of the leg and rip down the length. I end up with a few long strips, some short strips and some very short strips, as I use the back pockets as well.<br /><br />Any extraneous buttons and hems and so on that aren't got rid of by this method I just cut off. I like to keep things fairly regular.Andrew Kieranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997798351349771733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-67968065992733766702012-02-25T20:36:40.866+00:002012-02-25T20:36:40.866+00:00The "zebra" rug looks exciting & bol...The "zebra" rug looks exciting & bold.
