My favorite way to reuse outgrown clothing is making new dresses, hoodies and pants from their old knits. Ashley at Lil Blue Boo has some great, easy-to-follow patterns showing how to recycle your old t-shirts into great new clothing. After reading Disney's ideas I'm kicking myself for sending those 4 boxes of outgrown clothes to the thrift shop!
Today I also found this great idea from This Mama Makes Stuff to turn men's slacks into boy trousers. Perfect for Drew!
I'd love to hear how you upcycle clothing to make it wearable longer. Pictures, links, and descriptions would be appreciated!

Hi I can see that you posted this a while ago, but I think upcycling is always fashionable so I wanted to share with you a link to my blog where you can see an
upcycled Cindarella dress (made from curtains and a tablecloth)
and an upcycled child's party dress
(made from my own bridesmaid's dress).

I LoVe Upcycling my kids stuff! I use my kids tops that they have outgrown. Sometimes it's just a length thing, and I can add a bottom to make it into a dress. The girl's love them...who doesn't like a nice comfy sundress to twirl around in??? :)

Good work…unique site and interesting too… keep it up…looking forward for more updates.
It's great to see so many eco-friendly ideas for revamping, up dating and reusing garments !
It's a must in the 21st century.
