I keep my old clothes that have gotten holes in them or something spilled on them, and use them for my "art" clothes. I do a LOT of different kinds of crafts, not just quilting. If I get paint or glue or glitter or thread on my old clothes, it doesn't matter. I keep washing and wearing the old clothes until they're completely worn out ... and even then, sometimes I sew the holes up and keep right on wearing them.
I do, of course, change clothes before I go anywhere, and all my friends/family know to call first if they plan to come by.
