When I can, I reuse. But if I end up with a piece that I'm unlikely to wear again, I refashion it into something more useful.
That was EXACTLY the case with my red faux fur shawl.

Sew the shoulders |
Sew the shoulder seams, Then sew down the sides.
My vest was too big, so I tailored it to fit my body.
To finish the project, turn and top stitch the collar, front and bottom seam. I did a zigzag stitch to finish the armholes.
