I just made my movie room darker using old black dress pants and poster board. I probably could have used cardboard boxes or hell I probably could have just painted the boxes black now that I think about it. Well anyway have you recycled any of your fat clothes in weird ways?

    I've seen full-size dolls made from old fat clothes. Comfortable to lie upon and a reminder of where we once were.
    I've also seen purses, knap sacks, etc. made of them.

    I just gave my fat clothes to Goodwill, except I have that one big pair of jeans. A few months ago, my husband took a photo of me with my whole body, waist down, in one leg of them.

    I think I might take a pair of fat jeans and then them into a pair of "reverse" cargo pants to fill with stuff not allowed in places like concerts

    Once my roommate cut up old tshirts and made a rainbow rug by braiding them together and twirling it. It actually turned out really awesome.

    What's wrong with donating them to those in need?

    Nothing particularly just would be nice to make use of something i paid for previously and i always procrastinate going over to goodwill to drop off

    No, if I get to small for them, then I never want to see them again!!!
