Old jeans can also be repurposed. By cutting out sections and sewing them together, you can make stylish aprons. If you have extra material left, consider making pot holders. Denim is great for this purpose because it is a thick, heat-resistant material.
Scarves are versatile and can be transformed into throw pillow covers. Just wrap the scarf around the pillow and secure it with a few stitches. This is an easy way to add new life to your old throw pillows.
If you have graphic t-shirts that you don't wear anymore, don't throw them away. Cut out the graphic portion and frame it. You can also sew together different graphics to create a unique and personal quilt.
Use any remaining fabric scraps to make rag rugs or pet toys. This is a great way to use up material that would otherwise be thrown away.
Cotton clothes that are too worn out to be reused can be cut into cleaning rags. They are very absorbent and can be used for any cleaning job around the house.
