I'm the same way! I have a pair of jeans with no knees, nearly no bottom either. Then there's my favorite sleeper, the kind that looks like a one piece long john, that has three colors of buttons and I need to stitch the sleeve agian. Plus my favorite t-shirt that has bleach stains, five holes, and a stain that is orangish/brown and unidentifiable. Oh well, I keep tellin my DH if I threw out everything that doesn't look pretty anymore he'd be on limited time! LOL!

I totally understand. I've never been one to be wasteful but saving every old stained pair of jeans can be too much. There seems to be some love stuck in those old threads.
DH has had favorite jeans that were more patch than pants!
I came home one day and a neighbor was there and asked why I didn't dress like that all the time.
Well, because if I did it would all look like the old stuff in short order.

You should make something out of it. I have saved a night shirt from my little brother. He is now 27 and all 5 of my children have worn it. It has Kermit the frog on it. I plan to make a pillow out of it, unless I can let my granddaughter wear it too. Even if it's just for a picture. What about making a tea cozy?
It's all good!
