[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Jennifer, have you conciddered making dog ropes with your stained 
clothing or giving it away to krafters who use them to make such items? I am 
suggesting that because I take donations of t-shirts to make my dog ropes 
and my fellow krafters in my local krafter's guild use old metereals from 
many sources to make their items.
Kendra
