Like many women (and men!) out there, I seem to have a problem getting rid of my old and unworn clothing items. I try and donate my unworn clothing items to thrift stores and homeless shelters, but sometimes I grow attached to a certain clothing piece, and I want to give it a new life. Here are some crazy cool ways you can repurpose your old clothing..into mostly NEW clothing.
Everyone has a favorite pair of sweatpants that they throw on for WHATEVER the occasion. If your favorites are a little worse for the wear, revamp them with this tutorial from Trash to Corture. It’s amazing what a simple leg-band can do!
You know how us girls are always blamed for stealing our SO’s clothing? Yours will really go nuts when they see how you transformed and old shirt of his into a fashionable button-up dress. Second Street has the tutorial.
Don’t throw out those jeans that don’t fit you anymore! While it may be hard to turn them into another article of clothing, you CAN turn them into a chic throw pillow. I want to design an entire coastal room around this pillow. DIY from Remodel la Casa.
If you’ve already made a new set of throw pillows, turn your last pair of too-big jeans into a FIRE pair of skinny jeans. From Devon Alana Design.
I’m a HUGE lover of cardigans. I have multiple that I love to layer with everything if I get cold. If a cardigan you loved shrunk in the wash, or no longer fits you. Make it fit again with this tutorial from I Am Momma Here Me Roar.
Cover up any unpleasant stains on your kid’s jeans with this DIY from Art for Kids and Robots. You can’t even tell where the stain was here!
Looking to give your clothing an entirely new identity? Mix things up, and instead of turning your clothing into more clothing, you can turn them into a quilt instead! Project from Bee in Our Bonnet.
One of the fondest memories of my childhood is settling down with my grandma to make a rag rug out of Grandpa’s old t-shirts. This project from Hannah In the House will add texture to any space!
