i have these old lime green bed sheets and i feel kinda wasteful just throwing them out but i don't know what to do near them. i'm not at all sewing-savvy so most crafts are probably out the window. any concept?
you could recover them and cut them into7x7 in. squares and sew them all together to start a quilt for someone or lately rip them up into small rags for grease rags of some source. My prehistoric bed sheets color match my room so I folded them into a simply square and am using as a tablecloth for my nightstand.
Your local animal shelter would probably love to have them. Most shelters enjoy hard stone floors and will put old linens/quilts/pillows down for some of the older/younger animals. I use my prehistoric sheets mostly for yard work; i pile all the trimmings, leaves and refuse on it then drag it up to the road and dump it off the sheet to get hold of picked up. It's a lot easier than putting it in a wheelbarrow and you can move more stuff at once. Also use them for covering the plants contained by the winter, and for painting. Put them under strapping furniture to move it more easily. They're very handy for lots of things!
Answers: we save our old sheets for winter-time. We use them to cover our plants when it get near freezing. We also use them as drop clothes when we paint.

I agree near some of the above and I have some ideas
- You could cut it and maby hem it (you don't enjoy to hem it) and use it as a table cloth
- You could hang it as a curtin
- This is my favorite idea - you could cut them into 2 squares and generate a tie pillow out of them
- Or donate them to goodwill
Give them to charity, there are relatives out there who have no sheets. grant them to a needy family.
