DIY: What's something I can make with clothes that dont fit?

Question

I've got a bunch of clothes that I've outgrown.

What can I make out of them?

Answer 1

Jeans - Purses, throws       Print Cottons - quilt scraps    Tees - Rags  Flannels - doggie beds .    Use your imagination  If you can't think of anything you'd want to make, then donate them to somebody in need.

Answer 2

One of my daughter's friends took the different t-shirts she had outgrown and made them into a quilt/comforter. The shirts she used were the ones she was most sentimental about...there was a shirt from the soccer tournament her team won & she had her team autograph it. There was a shirt she got on vacation with her grandmother, who passed not too long after the trip.

Looking at the other posts, you've got a bunch of great ideas to work with, so good luck!

Answer 3

Cut up any T shirts - they make excellent polishing cloths. It's in tip No. 9 on site below.

Any clothes that have large re-usable areas such as skirts or dresses could be used for cushion covers.

Make a patchwork quilt.

If you can't think of any other things to make sell any good items on eBay and buy yourself something new from the proceeds.  The rest could be sent to charity shops.
