Thanks so much for your sweet comment.
The...Rachel,<br />Thanks so much for your sweet comment.<br />The clothes that I make rugs out of are generally stained or holey. I too would have trouble cutting up perfectly good clothes to make rugs with. I do repurpose that sort of clothes (that are the wrong size or style) in other ways though- like for other clothes.<br /><br /> However if you really want to make a rug and don't have anything else I don't think it would be wrong to cut up something that you were going to get rid of anyway. Another option might be to ask at the place you donate if they have stained items. I know at least one of our second hand stores gives away bags of old clothes for the purpose of cutting up because the clothes were donated but have problems for using as is.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-28784697681302737382012-11-05T22:03:06.842-06:002012-11-05T22:03:06.842-06:00You mentioned that the clothes would have ended up...You mentioned that the clothes would have ended up in the trash, is this because they were totally worn out or you have no one to give them to? I have several bags of clothes I was planning to donate to Value Village but maybe instead I should cut them up. The clothes are still nice so I may feel guilty cutting them, but they are mine that I paid for--oh what a quandary. I love all your ideas, BTW, your blog is one of the first blogs I ever read for crafting/homemaking ideas.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03554865994584932252noreply@blogger.com
