Recycle this Recession

I have been arranging, re-arranging, boxing and unboxing old clothes, tired bedsheets and craft materials that I have accumulated for donkeys’ years.  While they are cramping my cupboards and cluttering my home, I am not keen to throw them away.  I don’t have the heart to give them to charity either as it is just shameful to give something that I am shameful to use myself.  This is Recession time so the most I could do is to recycle them into something usable, nice and trendy.

Ideas?  Luckily, I have a modest photo collection of recycled art and things which I took from my travels.
