I have a bunch of jeans with holes in them. I've tried patching some, but I'm not very good at sewing, and most are beyond saving.
Should I throw them away, donate them to a thrift store, or can I recycle them into something else?
Edit: the ones that ripped at the knees I already turned into jorts, the rest are mostly ripped in the crotch/ass area
As a general rule if you consider something unfit to wear, use, or eat you shouldn't give it to someone who needs support.
As for recycling, the best use of denim jeans I can think of is cutting them up to make patches for other denim jeans.
