Upcycling your old clothes into something new

So we've all heard of recycling right, so how about upcycling? For those of you that don't know it's just re-using things that you have and turning them into something even better or useful. For example turn dresses into skirts or tops, turn your old curtains into a bed spread, turn wine bottles into art deco or a vase for flowers. The list is endless but unlike recycling you just re-fashion it into something else rather than letting it compost or decompose.
