Hey,Yes 100% clothes be recycled:-Clothing and textiles are nearly 100 percent recyclable. More and more people are recycling their old attire, whether it’s through donation, thrift store shopping or simple curbside recycling. The textile making process is energy and resource intensive. By recycling clothing you are cutting down on the number of resources needed to produce new clothing.Benefits of Recycling Shoes and ClothingAlmost 100% of household textiles and clothing can be recycled, regardless of quality of condition.

Things to do with fabric samples/scraps?
There are so many things to make out of scraps, from catnip-filled toys to wrapping gifts, to braided rugs. How about a flower made out of a broken zipper? I figured rather than post a long list and miss so many ideas, I'd direct you instead to a few websites just brimming with ideas, instructions, and even patterns that are perfect for the multitude of scraps we all have growing in our craft rooms. I'm sure you'll find many fun and useful ideas at these sites. There's even a pattern for making a box to hold your scraps that's sewn out scraps! I've taken advantage of ideas from some of these sites myself and still have plans for many more. http://tipnut.com/scrap-happy-fabric-scr... (wonderful ideas, clear instructions, and free patterns for scrap projects) http://www.wikihow.com/Find-Uses-for-Fab... http://craftstew.com/sewing/20-crafty-wa... http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/ I realized that using some of these "recycle" projects can be a great way to introduce my daughter to sewing without spending a fortune. We have plans to make bunches of catnip toys and blankets to donate to our local animal shelter. Please, if you make toys for dogs, my personal belief is to skip the squeaky thing inside. Heaven forbid your stitching gives under the onslaught of dog jaws, larger dogs could swallow those small squeakers. Another thing you might consider is to use some of the softer, larger pieces to make preemie T-shirts, hats, or sleep gowns to donate to your local hospital's neonatal unit. Contact them first to make sure they accept such items and what, if any, restrictions they have on fabrics and trims (safety issues). :-)
