I will save clothes if I really, really like the color or pattern. I have a basket full of fabrics cut into strips, which I'll eventually make a rag rug with. I've kept any buttons that came off those pieces of clothing. Denim is so versatile, it's really a great material to hang onto. I've used old denim to make hats, a toolbelt for my kids' toy tools, small zippered bags, etc. I save underwire and the misc. hardware from bras, and I've saved pretty lace from other lingerie pieces. I also have a bunch of my outgrown t-shirts from Europe, with which I'll eventually make a memory quilt.
