Save those worn clothes

[oldtimer]

You can practice thrift and be "green" too by tearing your old clothes up for rug rags and finding a weaver to weave some nice scatter rugs for you from your old clothes.

It's kind of keen to look at a rug and say: "Hey there's Millie's old dress and Grandma's old apron, and that there stripe is Grandpa's old overalls." ;)

You can do the rug making yourself too - roll up some long pieces and start braiding them together and then stitch the braids together and make a circle or a square ;)

My Grandmothers had quilts made from worn out overalls - heavy suckers - like sleeping under couch cushions.
