Hello Farmgirls, I have been into, reusing clothing.... use the cutest wide wale corduroy pants for purses and aprons,,,jeans into those cute aprons....VERY large blouses, skirts, and dresses into the fringe on all of those, the top half of a purse and handles....rag rugs...
Our yard sales here are jeans and cords and any pants for .25 cents....good deal?
Used sheets, into my garden aprons....and rag rugs....
How about you?

Cleaned out my closet earlier in the week and now I have a garbage bag full of "new" fabric I can use for projects. Gotta love the shop at home theory. Saves a ton of money

Happy farmgirl sister #353

I take old t-shirts that are starting to fad and turn them into pillows. Dish towels into aprons. Also have taken the legs of jeans to make into a pillows. I have also taken tank-top shirts and turned them into purses. Alot of different ideas can be done and re-used!

i bought several books off of Amazon on resewing old clothing into other things..they have really great ideas..i bought them in hope of repurposing clothing when i lost weight..(50 pounds) but gained it all back and haven't used them for that purpose..wah.
