These unwanted materials becomes waste and is trashed! Sometimes I wonder if there is a recycling process for the unwanted pieces of fabrics from sewn clothes made out of Ankara. While I am still carrying out a research on that, as a DIY lover, here are a few things you can make out of Ankara asides clothes ;
