I'm not much of a reuse or make do type person. I will if the need is there but I don't have that need in my life now. My way of thinking is why use use a blunt pencil when a brand new sharp one is right there. I save fabric scraps but rarely use them. I take them to guild and let everyone go through them or make a pet bed. I have even thrown the bin full away. Really makes no difference to me if they are used or not. I don't use old clothes for quilts. Too time consuming to repurpose those.
