Reusing Old Clothes

As fashion styles change, current clothes become old and unworn. Most people will normally bin or donate their old clothes. But what are some other uses?

Socks into sock monkeys
A lot of socks get thrown away each year. Either because they have lost their pair or a full of holes. Why not make these into a simple sock monkey! This can be for yourself, child or pet! Just make sure you wash them first.

Shirts into Scarfs or bags
Flannel shirts are constantly coming in and out of fashion. Why not make these into your very own tote bag or scarf. Their fabric is perfect for both of these as it is sturdy and warm.

Baby Clothes into a baby quilt
Babies grow out of their clothes so quickly. So rather than throwing them away, why not try making a quilt. This is especially lovely if you use clothes they’ve worn in their first year of life.
