I tend to hold on to clothes until they're falling apart – stains on the cuff, rips at the seam, and faded. In that condition, I don't feel right donating them to a charity shop. But I also don't feel right just tossing old clothes in the trash and adding to our ever-growing landfills. So I end up with bags of unwanted clothes taking up space in my closet.
Recently I stumbled across the bags while I was spring cleaning. Instead of just tossing them back in the closet and forgetting for another year, I decided to do find a way to re-purpose the clothes. Turns out, old clothes have plenty of new uses, and I've saved a bunch of money reusing something to boot.
