You can also use the fabric from the old clothing.
Cut the shirts into lots of strips, 1 1/2? wide and that seemed to work great. You will now braid your strips together to make one single extremely long braided rope. Connect strips together to add more length – cut a small slit in the ends of all your strips. Thread new strip through the hole, loop it’s end through on its self and pull tight.
