"Thanks for this, another way to reuse, YEH! I've used old t-shirts and then with sewing machine, I sew the strips same same size as in this video down onto another old towel. I'm still working on it."

This little quilt was made in 2005 and is one of 7 Christmas quilts that I've made for decor in my home. Give it a whirl, it's a perfect way to reuse clothing.

Here is a cute skirt that I made this past summer from a set of curtains. I just love the twist of fate in making from other clothing.

Thanks for the lovely comments, Carli! :) I like to recycle my clothing as much as possible. I love to take things and turn them into something fabulous that I can wear. I'm hoping to finish my Christmas dress by this weekend. I'll post a snap when it's finished. I love your quilts! Happy Sewing!

Welcome to sew what's new. I would have any ideas how embroidered on jeans ? I am thinking about getting to taking old clothes and turn them into sewing new again. I use to brother sewing machines and I use a white 4400 embroidery machine.
