You can also use the material to add sleeves to sleeveless tops, make headbands, belts, small environmental friendly tote bags, and just about anything else! Depends on the thickness of the material. If it is thin, you'd need to sew it with a lining.

 

Cotton chunnis can be made into bags to store sarees/costly dresses. Stitching tops from chunnis is also possible. Or quilts can be made which can be used to spread onthe floor for sitting or as spreads over a diwan. Pillow covers can also be stitiched using them. If the material is synthetic, use lining when stitiching tops.
