What shall I do with these jeans?

[FaceLikeAPairOfTits]

I have a pair of jeans which I reckon have one more wash in them before the thigh chub rub zone gives out completely. What should I do with them?

Too holey for the charity shop, not the right fabric for cloths and I don’t want to patch them.

See if your local charity shop accepts rags. Our local one does because they can sell it to a rag merchant.

Burn them as tribute to the true pagan gods

Shorts. Convert to a skirt (v. easy). Cushion cover. Keep legs for patching future jeans.

Oops, just spotted you're not for patching.

I am fascinated to know what a face like a pair of rits looks like....

Rags for dusting if the insides are soft enough? If not, compost?

These are all excellent, thanks.

Shorts I’m afraid is a no-go, they’re disintegrating where the legs meet the crotch seam.

I’m going to investigate the rag option.

I don’t have a compost bin, and the council, who are very eagle-eyed at examining the contents of biodegradable wheelie bin, only allow food, garden waste and shredded paper.

Only just discovered the ethical living section, and I like it!

The name is from Father Ted.

Do you know anyone who sews or quilts? I love worn out jeans, I cut them up and make picnic rugs and blankets or cushion covers :) you might be able to pass them along to a local craft group?

Ah, thank you, I've forgotten that episode... might out the boxed set on my Christmas list

Remember these two?

OP I have a pair of jeans in a similar state. I'm about to cut one leg off and stuff it with some old raggedy clothes (mainly holey t-shirts) and make a draught excluder.

Oh dear, no. I am so old, I saw them broadcast on television first time round, haven't seen them since- might have missed that episode. Am definitely putting Father Ted on my Christmas list!

Draught excluder is an excellent idea! Cat litter is a great filling.

Cat litter is a great filling.

Fresh, not used I hope :o

Cat litter

My easily-confused cat would almost certainly think I'd provided him with a new deluxe (if slightly oddly-shaped) toilet if I did that. I'll stick with the holey t-shirts!

Our local recycling centre has a bin for rags.

😂 I don't actually have a cat, so no issues with the litter being used before or after putting in the excluder!

Surely the best draught excluder would be the actual cat? Mine is fluffy and does bugger all. Perfect.

What right minded cat would sleep somewhere draughty?

I have several pairs in the same state. Would anyone like a pair? PM me if you would.

One is going to be shorts. With a bit of strategic patching!

How do I make a denim skirt?
