Sweatpants or sweatshirts for DIY project needed

Maria from Lyall Bay

Dear neighbours, I am looking for some sweatpants/shirts for my DIY project - pouf from recycled fabric.

In total, I need probably 10-12 pieces in children size or 5-6 in adult size.

I am cutting the clothing, making 'yarn' for crocheting, so wear and tear is not a concern at all.… View more
Dear neighbours, I am looking for some sweatpants/shirts for my DIY project - pouf from recycled fabric.

In total, I need probably 10-12 pieces in children size or 5-6 in adult size.

I am cutting the clothing, making 'yarn' for crocheting, so wear and tear is not a concern at all.

Children are especially good at tearing their sweatpants, so, maybe, you have some of those? Not good enough for donating because of holes in them, not good enough for rugs because they have too much synthetic fibre in it? I'll be glad to save them from the landfill.

I started the project because my son was tearing his sweatpants way too fast - but looks like one child-destroyer is not enough to produce enough pants-yarn.

Thanks!

It’s safe to say that overall rents have been rising. This is due to a range of drivers. We’ve seen the potential increase in operating costs for landlords, which are expected to increase, as well as boosts to wages and salary incomes from the Labour led government.
