Putting old clothes to the charity shops is what most of us do....but how about having some fun and use them to design new clothes.
Get the kids in to help to, they love it, well the girls do anyway
Try taking them apart and adding to other items, add some ribbon, sequence, beads or any kind of accessories. You could even use old jewellery... the list is endless.
It isn't that hard to do and there are loads of websites on sewing to assist and help boost your imagination.
And if nothing else you will have an item that no-one else will
