How To Recycle Old Clothing?

When we think of waste, we often envision things like crushed up plastic water bottles, soiled food wrappers and dirty diapers – not a perfectly wearable pair of jeans that got thrown away just because they don’t fit anymore (raise your hand if you’re guilty).

Even in the case of an old stained t-shirt or pair of shredded underwear (like waaaay past the emergency-laundry-day underwear stage) there are plenty of textile recycling programs to keep even the most unwearable items out of landfills.

RESEL

“Recycling” clothing doesn’t necessarily mean only sending it to get shredded up and turned into something new. Recycling can simply mean passing items on to be used and loved by someone else.

If you’ve got items in great condition, and want to make a little extra cash, take them to a local consignment shop or thrift store, or try a trusted online reseller like Poshmark or thredUP.

DONATE

If you want your clothing to live on, but don’t want to mess with reselling, donating your items to a local homeless shelter or community center in your town is an amazing option to help others while keeping your clothing out of landfills. First though, make sure there is an actual need for the clothing items you have before just dropping them off. Donating isn’t an excuse to just pawn your unwanted clothing onto someone else that also doesn’t want or need them.

Also, make sure to only donate items in good, wearable condition though. Don’t just use a clothing donation drop off as your “trash can” for your smelly old gym socks with holes in the toes. Though the practices vary between organizations, they might end up sending unwearable items to landfills, defeating the whole the purpose of why we’re here in the first place, right?

How to make a dress for a young girl by the shirt

Men shirt.
a pair of scissors.
Meters measure.

A large piece of paper to draw the Albatron
Coloured yarns.
a pencil.
sewing machine.
Various accessories.

The method of work

We take baby girl measurements by measurement meter and record them on the side sheet

Draw the model on paper in sizes by pencil

Short sleeves, collar, measure the distance of two centimetres from the right-hand sleeve and decrease it straight up to the left you.

We attach the shirt after we get rid of the top of it on the lights with pins and specify the desired form with coloured soap.

Lack of the required model, then remove the paper from the cloth and start sewing the bottom of the shirt and serve as a small rose for the dress

Cut the upper end of the hand by a wide scale and after the completion of the stitching, draw the remaining thread to bind the cloth to the required measurement and give it an aesthetic form.

Take the sleeves that we previously cut, then twist them so that they become straight and long, then thread them into the machine and fasten them in the form of braces for the dress.

The dress from the chest is decorated with a number of small roses, or any accessories available and suitable for the dress, so the dress is ready

A bag of old vest

tools

1-The vest is old and preferably beige, or flax.

2-a pair of scissors.

3-Silicon defroster.

4-Piece Cardboard. Thread, and needle

The method of work

Sleeveless jacket, short sleeve and cut the cut pieces aside.

Lower the underside of the undershirt to give it a nice round shape, so the bag is not sharp.

Stitch the base of the bag and fasten it well.

The piece of cardboard is cut after the size of the base of the bag by the silicon device at the bottom of the bag to give it a distinctive shape, and strong support to carry things inside.

Fold the sleeves and thread them, then mount them as a bag carrier.

We use the rest of the clips in a beautiful rose work, and put them on the bag with silicone, and thus the bag is ready.
