On yoyos and frugality
"Even little scraps of cloth were saved. And if an old curtain, apron, or other piece of clothing was too worn or stained for use, a small corner of it, an unworn or unstained piece of it, might be salvaged. The scrapes could be turned into yo-yos. "
Yoyos look something like round gathered flowers. They can be whimsical, fun, elegant and artistic.
A perfect way to use fabric scraps.
They can be used to make toys
