Such as a pet bed slipcover, potholders, table runners, placemats, coasters, scissor holder, the list goes on. Unfortunately, my website is not up yet, but you can contact me if you are interested.

Kids are always losing buttons, a set from your button jar looks nicer than a non-matching replacement. What, no kids? Do something artistic. Chances are your older zippers work better than the ones they make today. Belt loop/sa from well made jeans have lots of uses, as well. Save those buttons and zippers!

You could turn them into cleaning or drying cloths, use them to patch other clothes, or if you are creatively inclined use them to make quilts.
