Upcycling is all the rage now a days. But I remember back when I was first married with two young children (the 70's). I took all of my husbands yucky socks, cut them apart and crocheted them into a rug. I sliced up the legs of my blue jeans and added material to make long skirts. I even remember ripping apart a sweater to make a new one for James. Never bought dishes because we had neat bowls from some margarine company and glasses from jelly jars.
Now, if i was only creative and not so utilitarian maybe I could upcycle and make some money.
