My best, most heat resistant hot pads for pulling things from the oven are made out of my son's old purple sweat pants. They are 16 years old and still going.
I have a piece of rope my mother made years ago from pieces of my grandmother's old white bedspread and Another rope she made out of material that had once been a summer skimmer top back when I was a child-- 40+ years ago. Actually my Mom is an absolute champion recycler.
