Sweatpants or sweatshirts for DIY project needed

Maria from Lyall Bay

Dear neighbours, I am looking for some sweatpants/shirts for my DIY project - pouf from recycled fabric.

In total, I need probably 10-12 pieces in children size or 5-6 in adult size.

I am cutting the clothing, making 'yarn' for crocheting, so wear and tear is not a concern at all.

Children are especially good at tearing their sweatpants, so, maybe, you have some of those? Not good enough for donating because of holes in them, not good enough for rugs because they have too much synthetic fibre in it? I'll be glad to save them from the landfill.

I started the project because my son was tearing his sweatpants way too fast - but looks like one child-destroyer is not enough to produce enough pants-yarn.

Thanks!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
