How cool is that! Yesterday, nostalgically and wistfully I cleaned out our closet that had been packed with old favorite frayed/faded shirts and blouses. I ended up with a pile of gingham, stripes and soft pastel “rags” I tore and cut up. I feel guilty using them as rags and am keeping them aside for a future idea.
Any second life ideas for these old friends?

I have been making cleaning rags for years by serging the edges of the cloths. A serger cuts and finished the edge in one step. I use about 3 rolls of paper towels/year.

Good idea about the less-absorbent fabric.
