I feel compelled to share this story. We are recyclers of everything we can recycle. Most often we take our stuff to the recycle center. However, my husband goes one further. He has a colony of red worms that consume all of our vegetable and fruit peels etc (no meat scraps because of the smell). They also eat worn out cotton clothing like worn out tee shirts, paper towels, napkins, etc (anything of natural content). Then he uses the soil in the garden. He has given colonies of worms to other organic gardeners to do the same. Works for him.
I totally agree with you....and I use the qoute from Auntie B. What you made is great.

Here in Oregon, many of us take recycling seriously. I recycle as much as I can and take only one can of trash to the landfill once a month. We are a family of four adults. I put my cotton bits and pieces in my worm compost bin. Worms will recycle your cotton! I really enjoy seeing what else can be recycled. We only have one planet and we cannot continue to make a mess of it. REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE
I commend you for recycling and reusing stuff that could be sitting somewhere in a landfill. You have made something beautiful and useful. Double whammy!

how about a pillow ? - I had a t-shirt made for me by my grandson, I sewed across the bottom ,sewed across the armholes ,stuffed it and closed up the neckline- you could do the same and have a "novelty pillow " .If it buttons down the front ,just button it up and sew as close to the buttons as you can get ,then finish the rest of any openings. hope this helped with an idea.
