On old skirts, it will be interesting to look at patterns from solderings, and on jeans you can make holes and scuffs. If you are thinking how to change trousers from flax, then try to decorate them on the side seams with cotton lace.

New clothes

It can be done in two ways - to slightly adjust or alter old things completely. In the first version of the long skirts and dresses are obtained midi and mini skirts. And the pants turn into shorts, not so easy movement of the hand, of course, as in one famous comedy, but it's also very simple - to put on, mark a new length line and cut off. Edge to hem. If it's jeans, then you can leave and fray it even more. The second way is more difficult - before you change old things, they must be ripped, washed, ironed and then cut through the patterns and sewed.

Women things"

Bandages on the head, bandanas, bows, hairpins, belts, bracelets - this is not a complete liver of what you can do with old things. And you can also make bags, purses, cosmetic bags, aprons and slippers. The main thing is to find a good pattern, but it's just not difficult, because now you can find in the network even an instruction on how to make an atomic bomb.

Home accessories

There are many ideas on how to transform a house using only old things. Children can have new toys, which used to be a tweed jacket, and a cat - a new house from the former shirts of her husband's shirt. On the wall in the hallway you can hang your own hand-stitched panel, on which you will attach a note-memo for relatives. A worn-out book will last longer if it is pasted with cuts of cotton fabric, or you can generally make a removable cover.

If you are going to cross jeans, and you have accumulated more than one pair, then take a closer look at the scrappy blanket. Cut into flat squares, sew them into strips, and then then put them together in a single canvas - this is nothing complicated, and it will last for a long time. A fabric from an unnecessary blouse can decorate a picture frame or a mirror. It is very easy to glue the right size cardboard, which is then glued to the frame or even to the surface itself, for example, mirrors. The old lamp can also be renewed with a cloth - sew a new lampshade to it.

Kitchen curtains are easily decorated with applications from a satin skirt. If there is a need for new curtains, then, as an option, the old ones are cut into strips, and between them are inserted contrasting strips from other obsolete curtains.
