I have tried to re-purpose old cloth as well in the past:
- torn denim jeans -> bag
- old t-shirt -> general purpose cleaning cloth/duster
My skill in this area is fairly paltry compared to your own though, and I don't have any photos.
A site on which you will quite likely find plenty of examples is
this one - especially in the 'Craft' section.
There are lots of other similar sites, which I can't think of off the top of my head. Feel free to PM me if you want me to have a look in my bookmarks for them.
