What To Do With Old Sarees

You Can Just Change An Old Saree Into A New Saree

If there is that one special saree with frayed pallu or slightly torn edges, you do not have to get rid of it. More often than not, the most damage for the old pattu and silk sarees is in the border. So, either at home or with the help of a tailor, rip off the pattu border and stitch it up with a new Kundan work, sequin, or zari based patch work border. Add some tassels or pom poms to the pallu. Recycling old sarees is no rocket science after all.

Get A Salwar Suit Made From Old Sarees

Old sarees make for some beautiful looking salwar suits. Even if the borders are damaged, you could use the body of the saree for the top, use contrast patchwork borders for the hemline, neckline and sleeves. For the bottom and dupatta, you could either use another old saree or mix and match it with what you have.
