What a fun list! I will definitely save it for future inspiration. I used one leg from a pair of jeans and the top of a broken plastic hanger to make a clothespin bag. Several years ago, I used the top of a pair of jeans to make a backpack for my sister for Christmas.

Great list! If there is something I'm going to cut into rags or recycle, I always cut the buttons off and put them in my button jar. I use old t-shirts for many of the things you listed, and I also use them as the soaker pannels in the middle of my prefold diapers that I make. The small flannel receiving blankets are my "go-to" for cloth baby wipes.

I got a few great new ideas from you, and I'm so glad you shared on Eco Kids!

I LOVE your list. I, too, upcycle and reuse most of our clothes. Spring and Fall are when I do most, as that’s when we switch from warm to cool or cool to warm wardrobes. I’ll be blogging about it soon. Hope to see you there!

Hi Harper, Thanks for sharing your great ideas! I especially like the drawstring bag idea. Clever! Thanks for visiting!

Great ideas! I’ve turned t-shirts into burp cloths and drawstring bags (you can thread the string through the existing hem at the bottom of the shirt), flannel sheets into cloth diapers, and button down men’s shirts into aprons. Of course most fabric can also be put into quilts.

Hi Heather. I am not fabulous at straight lines, either, but I still sew because it’s “sew” rewarding and fun to have a re-purposed product! Thanks for visiting!
