Reusing tartan fabric.....

[Charliezeta]

I'm a charity ( thrift ) shop junkie and one of the things I look for especially whilst travelling around Scotland is older ladies pleated tartan skirts. Many are long and have scads of fabric. Recently found a weathered Buchanan one and a beautiful wine red tartan which I've not identified yet. I labouriously unpick them and handwash the fabric to remove creases. Planning a project or 2 with these. Anyone else re-use wool fabric either tartan or tweed ? Not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic btw !
