Re: How do I recycle clothing?
1) Cleaning rags. Use the soft items to make into cleaning clothes. I make mine about 12x12 and stuff them into a bag to keep them neat. I also moved my paper towel dispenser to the inside of the cabinet where I keep the rags. This reminds me to use the rags instead of paper towels whenever possible.
2) Save the seams and sew them into a long strip. Then crochet or knit the strips into rag rugs. You can use polyester scraps but try to keep the cotton at least 75% of the rug so it is absorbent.
3) Cut old jeans and make shopping bags, car seat covers, furniture throws and pet beds. These sell very well at Farmer's Markets and Street Fairs.
4) Cut down on kitchen cleaning by covering all your counter top appliances with individual "cozies". When the covers look dingy, toss them in the wash.
5) Cotton prints make beautiful patchwork quilts. Make the quilt in 2x2 foot blocks and work on them while watching TV or during waiting time.
6) Use fabric blocks to sew book covers in assorted sizes to protect books from spills and hand oils. Even paperbacks benefit from having a book cover while you are reading it.
7) Use bright scraps to add embellishments to other clothing. Add a tiny faux pocket to a plain sweater or a bright red collar to a black shirt. Add fancy patches to jeans to cover stains!
8) Sew funny teeshirts into pillows for the floor or sofa.
9) Recycle lacy lingerie into sachets stuffed with potpourri to keep linen closets and drawers smelling nice.
10) Keep a bag of rags in your car in case you have to change a tire or need a little traction in the snow.
11) Make your own hot pads, trivets and oven mitts from scraps.

Hi,
I work for the company: theplasticsurgerychannel.com
Our site has been penalized by Google because of a handful of back links
pointing to our site (we have lost 80% of our traffic). I have opened a
line of communication with their WebSpam team and am working to clear the
penalty.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU?
We have isolated the back links causing our penalty which we need to have
removed, there are some from your site and I need to get that link taken down asap.
Heres the thing...
In order to get out of the penalty they have asked me to submit to them all
the paid or unnatural links which are currently pointing to our site and in
the next 5 days I will be submitting to them this list and unfortunately
your site is included.
HOW TO AVOID NEGATIVE ACTION FROM GOOGLE
If you can take the links down to: theplasticsurgerychannel.com then of course I will
be able to leave your site off that list.
I really don't want to be the cause of a penalty to you, nor report anyone
else's website to Google hence I'm reaching out to you now, and if you can
get that link taken down ASAP then of course I won't include your site when
I report back to them!
Where Exactly Are These Links Which Need Removing?
Specifically the links on the following page which link back to us are
located here:
http://w.businesshighlight.org/business/a-more-youthful-look-with-cosmoderm-cosmoplast.html
http://w.businesshighlight.org/business/beautifully-young-eyes-with-eyelid-surgery-or-blepharoplasty.html
http://w.businesshighlight.org/business/erase-your-scowl-with-a-brow-lift-or-forehead-lift.html
http://w.businesshighlight.org/business/improve-your-profile-with-chin-augmentation.html
http://w.businesshighlight.org/business/is-ear-pinning-otoplasty-your-answer.html
I really hope you understand the position we find ourselves in, we truly
appreciate your assistance in the past for including the link to us and
would really appreciate it now if you can take the link down!
If you want to chat this through please get in touch.
Hi Webmaster,
I am writing to say that I am deeply sorry that my manipulative SEO practices may cause you to receive a Google Terms of Service violation in the very near future.
The backlinks to my website (plantlightinghydroponics.com) can be found here:
http://businesshighlight.org/iframe-export/business/home-business/hydroponics-and-grow-lights-systems-primer.html
I believe that their immediate removal will save you from a similar ToS violation.
I hope that you can move quickly enough in removing them to avoid this.
Please feel free to contact me when you have deleted the links, or if you have any further questions for me.
Thank you and I would like to once again emphasize my regret.
