Recycle Old Clothes As Quilting Squares |
|
|
When I no longer need an item of clothing, I cut it apart at the seams and use the pieces to make quilt squares. I only use 100% cotton, that has been washed many times and will no longer shrink. I store all the same colors in a box for each color. This cuts down on spending, and I make a one of a kind memory quilt.

RE: Recycle Old Clothes As Quilting Squares
I made a single bed quilt cover with old my old clothing. I hand sewed all the squares and backed it with a single bed sheet. It took a while, but was something to do when I was watching TV or just sitting. The quilt brings back lots of memories of clothes worn over many years.

I do the same, I also save old jeans and make teddy bears, baby and regular quilts, purses, clothing. I also had my sofa upholstered in old jeans because my dogs lay on it more than us and it's washable and durable.
