I love crafts that are thrifty and eco-friendly. The idea is not new, but this is a great tutorial on sewing your own Swiffer cover. Feel free to use any cotton or terry that was destined for the rag bag and you, too, can have a spiffy new cover for your floor mop. No more refills for you! Added to Recycled Crafts and Sewing
