Recycling sheets and towels

For some reason, everything is wearing out at once around here.  Things like sheets and towels, that is.  I've had two sets of flannel sheets give out in the last two weeks.  Nice flannel.  The fitted sheets are the ones that wear out first.  One of these I've cut into rags.  The other one is going to become pajama pants for my dd and her doll.  The two top sheets are going to be cut into strips for a new rug I'm starting.  I know that I could still use them as sheets, but I really want to start on a new rag rug.  I'm sure that there are more ideas out there.  My old towels are going into the rugs, too.  What do you do with your old linens?

old towels are made into rags for scrubing the floor or whatever needs scrubed. As for sheets, we don't have flannel sheets. We use the worn cotton sheets for crafts, cleaning rags, or in the barn for drying off a just born baby goat.



What is a rag rug? Do you have a picture of one? I would like to make rugs. I have started a braid rug, six yrs ago,lol, it is still not finished.

Worn out towels and flannel sheets are turned into cloth diapers or sent to the dog shelter. I would love to make a rag rug. Maybe you could do a post on how to make one.
