I'm thrilled with all the new ideas for recycling already used and loved clothing pieces that no longer fit or are stylish...love the jeans Christmas socks. Bet they'd be great for the Socks for Soldiers program for next year. Thank you one and all for sharing your great ideas.

I am so in awe of your greenery! I love to recycle.
I used to have a whole bunch of used jeans but they were taking up space and I didn't know what I was going to do with them, so I cut off all the seams and made rags for my DH.
I guess they were recycled...they were his, but now, I will make some grocery bags and maybe a small purse for my tote and such.
How creative! Thank you for showing these pics and for all the ideas. Jean-green bags, how neat! :-D
