Hi there!
This is my first BB in the SKIP program. My husband had some old work shirts he wasn’t using and I need shop rags. Perfect.

I think it's time to admit that if I've held on to these shirts without mending them for this long, I'm probably not going to, and I could use a few cleaning rags, so I picked one to cut up.
