AFter the first of the year, we at the Bariatric Institute are planing to organize a clothes swap. We are all encouraged at our weight loss and our clothing sizes changing, but buying clothes is expensive and this would be a great way to get a new wordrobe that fits while sharing our old clothing with others. I wouldlove to hear others point of view on this.

These are all great ways to deal with your old clothes. Have a yard sale and use the money you earn to buy new clothes. If you don’t want to sell them I am a firm believer in giving them to goodwill or the salvation army; they can always use clothes and other items, especially this time of year. The point is don’t leave them “hanging” around your house.
Is anyone interested in putting together a clothing exchange??Leslie

You can do cool things with old jeans like making art bags for your children at school. You cut off the legs and sew them shut. Then you can sew on some ties to the corners of the waist band. Your child will have the seat of the pants as well as the back and side pockets to store school supplies. In these economic times this is a good way to get more than one use out of your clothes and save money for back to school.
