I have lost over 75 pounds and cleaning out my closest, to make room for the shopping spree in the next 50 pounds, I made two piles. One, jeans and 100 cotton shirts and the second pile for donation. I plan on making a rag quilt out of the jeans or pot holders and using the shirts for a scrappy quilt.
It is nice to know that I'm not the only one that repurposes clothes.
