Yep, I've knitted and crocheted with fabric. I inherited yards and yards of lightweight tricot and after figuring out how to cut it into strips without a bunch of sewing, I've knitted a couple "cat mats". For a friend's cat. It's really cushy and would make an excellent rug to reduce leg pressure. But the cutting is tedious and I'm not good at tedious!
I've also used tshirt strips.
Right now I'm collecting selvedge strips and strips I tear to begin a straight edge. I'll most likely crochet granny squares out of it. Should make good hot pads for the counter and table.
