Reusing Wornout Capri Pants

Christmas is coming. Who do you need a gift for? Pillows are a great idea for black linen. If you sew, you could use them to create a pattern to make another pair. Small draw string bags for gift giving or jewelry storage. Cut the pant leg off, hem it, put a handle on it, and use it to store plastic bags. Cut into squares for a crazy quilt. (google that, you'll love it). Barbie clothes and blankets. Welcome to the world of thrifty living. It's fun here.

Or you could stuff the cut off legs and make two neck roll pillows If the top 8-10 inches of the top are still good, you could use that as the top of a skirt by attaching more fabric to the bottom in a print or stripe to make it as long as you like. Just measure around the bottom of your cut off top, add 2 inches to that for the side seams, and measure the length you want the skirt to be, plus 2 inches for the top attaching seam, and bottom hem. This would give you a one-of-a kind skirt.
