Green Clothing


T-shirts transformed
into shorts. 

Do you have clothes that you no longer want or need? Are they taking up space in your closet? Do you donate clothes to Goodwill, Catholic Charities, or maybe a consignment store? In general, do you recycle clothes? 

Do we recycle clothes like we recycle cans, paper, bottles and newspapers? What can we do beside give them away? Can clothes find another purpose? Maybe.

This afternoon, I took a big bag of clean t-shirts to our church. Women from our church are creating children's pants from gently used T-Shirts. 

Our T-shirts have marked  time in our closets reminding us of our walks, retreats, runs, reunions, and blood drives.  They are also taking up space in our closets. Now, these T-shirts have a new purpose. They will find homes in so many places. 
Sewing
My first project!
