Out with the Old: 5 Top Strategies for Letting Go of Unwanted Clothes
1. Repurpose Your Old Clothes
Here’s a short list of fixer-upper ideas, or how to just make something completely new.
√ Fix any broken zipper, missing buttons, mend holes.
√ Add new buttons (or vintage buttons) to make something feel fresh.
√ Old t-shirts can make cleaning rags.
√ Old sweaters can be sewn together to make a throw.
√ Silky fabrics can be made into pillow cases or small totes to use for your lingerie when traveling.
2. Donate
Donate to a direct service (i.e. group homes, shelters, foster care families, go outside and give it to someone in need).
3. Give to a Friend
Give your old clothes to someone you know (i.e. friend, coworker, family member).
4. Give to an Organization
Give to an organization that repurposes things and resells them (i.e. @suaysewshop).
