I just want to know about the clothes that you have when it has been detachment portion, will you be able to sew it or just leave it in the drawer or just throw it? I know that not all of us know how to sew our damage clothes personaly.

depends on the severity of the tear and the clothes that had been teared..if it still okay to be worn and fit to sew then i will sew it back and wear it again but if it is an old cloth and is already for "retirement" we will be using it as a rag.

is it a cotton shirt? then i can recycle it into a rag or foot sock. is it jeans? then i can recycle it and make it a short. is it a dress then i can recycle it into a skirt. but if it can not be recycled anymore of course i will throw it already. i sometimes make cotton shirts into pillow stuffing. i cut the shirts into small pieces and stuff it into a pillow case and there i have a new pillow. i know how to sew so i can really think of a lot of things to do with clothes. wink wink wink

it nice to hear that we can still recycle the cloth for being use as a rags when it is not durable. My mother told me about the importance of the cloth.

well it depends what part of a clothing was detached. if it is just pockets or buttons i can live without that. i am in a band so that can pass as a style har har har. if a tshirt has a hole and it is one of my favorite shirt then i will just use it inside the house or use it when i go to sleep. that is what i am going to do. if i cant wear it anymore i dont throw it.... my wife it as a rag or something
