You can't actually use lye for that in DF, right?

Sadly, no. Not yet anyway...

Also, when I saw the thread title, first thought was "magma" :D

I usually make a tiny graveyard stockpile (s - y) as a backup, so that if I forget to build or designate coffins, corpses go there and stand out more. ("Hey, that stockpile that is always supposed to be empty has something in it...") They also don't cause miasma outside so I place it outside to start with, until I have an indoor refuse area.

Edit: To make bags out of plants, build a farmer's workshop and set it to process plants, it will process pig tail and rope reed. To weave that thread into cloth, build a loom. To make bags build a clothier's workshop and optionally a dyer's workshop. If you want to use undyed cloth, remember to set that in workshop preferences or something like that... I forget the exact name of the menu entry...

To get rid of excess clothing, designate a garbage dump zone outside and dump the unwanted clothing. Or make a pit zone that drops into magma.
