RE: Recycling and Upcycling Old clothes.
SUPER Pro job on the bag, @minismallholding!! I'm allergic to patchwork having had it foisted on me by my very thrifty mother, but here in Thailand they crochet the coolest floor and bathroom rugs from thin strips of upcycled fabric. Really nice contribution to the challenge!!! And yes, Chiang Mai, Thailand has 4 HUGE over-sized Bunnings-Home-Depot sized second hand clothing stores (called Tiger Second Hand) which sells second hand clothes from primarily Japan and the USA. To people here who work in factories MAKING that crap but who could never afford it.

Thank you. I have admit that patchwork isn't something I'm normally attracted to. I refuse to make it from just any fabrics tossed together, but denim I can about cope with and a bag has a use. I'm not sure I could wear it (unless you count when I patch my jeans). I don't think I could just slap any colours together, either.
I think I've seen rugs like that. Not generally something that appeals to me in the living room, but as a bathroom rug, now there's an idea.
I was rather hoping my theory on the second hand clothes was wrong, but I'm not surprised it wasn't. Thank you for confirming that from the other end.
