Old clothes are still on. How will we do? The t-shirt eventually wears soft, our jeans ‘ ankles stick out and shoes have gaps. There’s a lot of good stuff there, however, and it just seems a shame to chuck it down. Something can be said, of course. There’s definitely a way to remember the same hoodie, the pair of jeans that’s been on for the last five years. It’s not garbage, is it?
Today, most of us know enough to sell any kind of clothes that still gets the job done, and other of us know enough to purchase the second-hand apparel. Still, though, we need to find out what to do when garments are too tattered for recycling when our stock of rags crafted from cut-up tees has already been repaired. Old clothes will make some pretty unique and useful things with a little craftiness.
Make a blanket or quilt
Hey, at some point everybody who made a quilt did their first, and while at the end it might not have been a precise artwork, that blanket probably served a proud purpose. All those patterns and pictures that once attracted us to purchase a piece of clothing can be preserved in patchwork quilt form. By the end of the first, our assumption is that those sewing talents are going to be much more fine-tuned and ready for the next one, after which the first one can be removed from view.

Bag and multipurpose sling
A pocket can always come in handy, from pencil pouches to totes, and we never have enough of them around. This is a good, relatively fast project for old clothing, and it functions much better when reusing old buttons and zippers as part of the bag as well. How many different types of bags might be useful? Wine gift bags, a wallet, a reusable bag for holding all those bulk purchases of grains and beans, a sewing kit, button bag, computer sleeve, computer cables, laundry, etc.
Throw Pillows
A good soft cushion — something familiar — makes all the difference to those that lounge and this allocates just about all of us. Well, an old pair of pyjama pants, the old shirt, can be sewn together into an equally attractive pillow, and those very snuggly socks. What’s more, scraps and other less desirable clothes can be put as stuffing into the centre. For the highly skilled, it is also necessary to use the buttons as well as the buttons to make some really cool pillowcases from old button-up shirts.
Ruffle-y Rugs
Rugs, as we learned from The Dude, really tie the room together, and all we need to do is tie some old clothes together to have some new, super cool rugs. Here’s a lot of ways to make old clothes rugs: knitting, crocheting, sewing, hula hooping. Yes, it’s hula hooping right. But, the short and easy of it is that clothing makes for great rugs, thick and luxurious, full of colour and different textures to enjoy. Have one on the go that can just be continually added to until it’s ready.
Air Freshener
An old pair of socks is funny that they are more or less able to be air fresheners. After they have been dried, save the sock sections without any gaps. Fill them with potpourri and cover the ends. Design it better. They are ideal for tossing in the corner of the closet, right next to the smelly shoes or in the cabinet next to the garbage can or on top of the toilet tank or in the room of a teenager or in the car or in a day bag or wherever a little scented pick-me-up might be needed.
Compost
With Green Monsters, it’s unlikely there’s going to be a lot of need to persuade you to use all-natural things, and fashion is no exception. Like any organic material, for the construction of a new garden bed, old clothes made from natural materials can be composted and/or used for sheet mulching. And while this indicates the official end of a fashion product, it also labels so easily utilizes additional landfill space to process organic materials instead.
Here are some of the videos which you can refer while turning your old clothes to a new one. Thank us later for these creative ideas. Always keep experimenting with your old clothes.
So, we should donate what we can wear things as if it matters the resources and effort to produce them, and then, at the end of the day, see if we can’t figure out a way to make better use of them. This is how we can make a very personal contribution to a world that struggles to keep up with human consumption and waste.
