Recycled Towels Swiffer Cover

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

Need something new and fabulous to wear this summer? Recycle a long-sleeved shirt into an awesome Tuxedo Tank Top. I’ll be looking through my closet soon with a critical eye… Wouldn’t this be a great for a little girl, too? Recycle old shirts that will be too small for next year into shirts she can wear now.
