Something from nothing

Dunno if all the economic doom and gloom stories were working on my subconscious or what, but here is what I did over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Cut three old pillow cases into cleaning cloths (rags).


Cut the legs off tattered pajama pants and worked up a prototype for hanger garment covers.



Covered a freebie promotional tote bag with a fabric sample that I embroidered.



Then pieced a contrasting band to a small cut of fabric for a pillow cover.



Guess I am on a frugal kick but don't fret, I am not yet smoothing out the aluminum foil for a second use.

The mantra of the frugal citizens during World War II:
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

Not sure about that last one.
