It's been awhile since I saw post about this - I'm talking about the clothes that are not fit to give away, sell, etc.

Make a RAG BAG, and fill it with the other clothes that are in this same condition.

I am not joking - I took a shirt, sewed it up, as in the pictures below. I have used it and love it. I have made 2 to give to friends who know what I have been through and how much I have accomplished. They will laugh themselves silly on Christmas morning.

Tips: select the hanger before you sew the arms up, if they have sleeves. Lay the hanger on the shirt and eye-ball how much you need to sew so the hanger will fit. Sew and turn rightside out.

The sleeves are the first rags in the bag. I cut the seams out so the rags lay flat and are easier to use.

I have an OLD sewing machine that goes frontwards, backwards, and zigzag. That's it. This is NOT hard.
