My mom often made washcloths out of the better parts of worn towels. When my son was a baby he drooled so bad that regular bibs were soaked in a few minutes, so she layered several old washcloths or squares of old towels and made bibs for him. He still got those wet fairly quickly, but at least they lasted longer than the others. I think you need to put those ideas on Pinterest!Loritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570346408282598440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-68231650467891047882012-03-26T08:07:03.828-05:002012-03-26T08:07:03.828-05:00It was very smart to make nice new washcloths with...It was very smart to make nice new washcloths with the old towels!

I do not sew, so these types of things are not a possibility for me. I donate old towels to the animal shelter and use old sheets for painting projects (drop cloths, or to cover furniture).Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290836394516314441.post-52737722082349081752012-03-17T11:09:41.845-05:002012-03-17T11:09:41.845-05:00I really enjoy your ideas!

I love the bibs, our grands bibs are a little short on them now, as soon as things settled down around here I am going to whip some up.

Maybe I will just add a vintage bed sheet too our existing rags...a little "beautification" is good.<br /><br />Since we moved to Yuciapa and can walk to so many places, we are saving about $300 a month on gas. It has become a game to see who can use the truck less, which was impossible in San Diego.<br /><br />blessings, jillyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
