A no sew project

I've been asking myself lately, how much fabric/craft supplies do I really need? I keep making trips the the fabric store and adding to my stash. I have a bin full of good 1 yarders and then I have bags and bags of scraps! I can't seem to throw stuff away....only because I know that I could use it or make it into something purposeful.
Heres the point (I promise). My son outgrew a pair of his favorite footie jammies. I had already cut the feet out and then they became jammie capris. Finally, he just couldn't wear them anymore and yet I couldn't just throw them away. So I decided to cut them up and use them as cleaning rags.
(Yes, I know my floor is dirty. It was cleaning day after all!)

Cut right at the seam of the sleeve. I gave the other sleeve to to my daughter and she was happy to help me dust. I really don't like the feeling of furniture polish on my hands so this was a perfect solution. Slip your hand in and the cuff of the jammie now holds your "cleaning rag" in place! Now you have a rag that is washable and the fleece material is great for catching dust! Have fun and be crafty!
