Ever wonder what happens to the scraps of fabric leftover from garment making? If you’re like me, you probably haven’t. My first introduction to upcycling fabric waste came when I started selling rug pads made in part from new clothing remnants.

It’s quite fascinating to see first hand the efforts manufacturers are making in repurposing industry waste.
Dreamweavers is one company utilizing upcycled products in rug making. Their Executive Rugs Line (photo above) is constructed of material leftover after making men’s neckties.
