I love to reuse fabric. My son's fancy crib sheet became my calf length half slip. My sister in law's coat got braided into the rug at my front door. Second hand wool coats were scarce around town when I was in that phase, but it's hard on the hands. My favorite thing is to get linen table cloths from the thrift shop and cut them into four tea towels and roll hem them. I like large, absorbent tea towels.
