Everyone has that pile of clothes they no longer wear but haven’t gotten around to donating. And while it’s always good to donate items to, say, Goodwill, there might be a treasure trove of DIY items in there that you can use in your home.
That is, at least according to Vera Vandenbosch, a stylist, writer and photographer whose recently published book, “Scraps,” has singlehandedly informed how we’ll be spending our weekend. We’ll be busy crafting stash fabric — or as Vandenbosch puts it, any textile, from stained shirts to ripped jeans and stray socks — into lovely little home accessories, like the ones we’ve rounded up here.
