Survival Survey: What do you do with old jeans?

image by flickrohit

We are a Levi-wearin’ family, no doubt about it.  It’s not unusual for the four of us to jump in the Tahoe wearing basically identical medium blue, boot-cut Levis.  Eventually, though, I end up with a pile of old jeans, ripped and worn out, that I’m not sure what to do with.  I just hate throwing them away; maybe it’s all that otherwise good fabric that seems a shame to just put in a dumpster.  I make cut-offs for the kids (and they are quite a sight among their fashion-conscious peers!), but otherwise, I don’t know what else to do with all these jeans.

So, today’s Survival Survey is mostly for my own selfish benefit.  Help me!  What do you do with old jeans?
