    I've got some clothes that are torn or soiled in some way that deters me from selling or donating them. What are some crafty ways to recycle them?

    well, you could take all the parts that are still good, cut them out, stitch them back together and it's called patchwork. Once you patchwork together a good sized piece of cloth, you can take any pattern and make anything from it. If you've got a pair of pants with a decent waistband, there's the top of a new skirt; just cut off the legs and start adding fabric onto the bottom until it's long enough. If you get crazy with you how add the fabric, it looks better, ruffle some up and try it out.

    Paint, patch or applique over the stains...
