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

    Legs can be cut free of the seat, turned inside out with one leg hole sewn shut, turned inside in, and you've got a sack. Fill it with fabric and you've got a pillow and secure the open end and you've got a pillow. Fill it with gravel and you've got a door stop or weight. Fill it with dirt/sand and you've got a sand bag. Get some cheap grommets from a hobby store and hammer them onto the opened end and you can fill them with stuff and tie them closed. Or the grommets can be used with heavy twine/wire to make a short lived (as in a few years) outside hanging planter.
