How Do You Recycle Old Clothes Into A Quilt?
This is a great way to recycle all your favorite clothes that you cannot bare to let go of. A quilt made out of your child’s clothing from their childhood to take to college would be a cherished, special gift for them. Clean through your closets to find old, outgrown, or stained garments. Look through boxes of baby clothes that you saved all those years. If you don’t have old clothes go to Good Will, St. Vincent’s or other consignment store. Go to a fabric or quilt store and begin to look through the books to find design for your quilt. When you find one, purchase the book with the instructions. When choosing a pattern think about the design of your garments. What size pieces can I cut from this garment? Try using the clothing details and embellishments. This will add a personal look to your quilt tops.
