Reconditioned, recycled, deconstructed, reconstructed, or used?

If you have clothing, let’s say denim because that is easy to work with, rather plentiful, and durable enough for a longer life. If you take denim jeans and remake them into purses, of a denim jacket, add lots more material and turn it into a dress, or BBW jeans and use the material to make 30 pairs of bikinis, etc. would the garments or clothing made from the used jean material or denim clothing be deconstructed, reconditioned, used, recycled, reconstructed, etc.? Would what it is called be determined by how much of the original garment or material is used? What if a pair of jeans was cut down to short shorts, and the cut off legs used to make purses, or bikinis, would the short shorts be seen and labeled differently than the bikinis or pursed which were totally and originally made from the used material?
