i was thinking about making it into a clutch but i'm terrible with a sewing machine! i would have to do it by hand. any other suggestions?

Cut out a long strip and tie into a cute bow and stick onto a plain black hairband.
Or... just cut a long strip and use it as a hair band it would really nice with your hair.

I agree with Nik, high waisted shorts would look cute! Maybe add some studs to the pockets or something?

@Sophie R.

Agreed.

Bleach them to death and then rip them a bit?

i'm afraid they're as bleached as i could get them. they used to be bright red and i left it in a bucket of bleach and water over night and this was the result :]

Cut them into shorts, distress them and voila! a cute leopard print shorts..

The idea using studs is cool too!
You can use it with a bulky belt like this

omg i find them beautiful !

but please explain, what is wrong with it ?

if you find the pattern area too big, making a short of it is the best deal, it will stay cool, but not too noisy.
if it's the cut or the size that doesn't fit you, sara's scarf idea could be nice and easy to make !

Not trying to be mean, but I think they are kinda ugly... so I would make a pillow, or use the legs and stufff them and make those thingies to put on the end of the doors, on the floor so cold doesn't come through and so on.

Make a hand bag!! Cut off the legs, and sew the holes obv, and use the extra material to make the handles, add on some badges and buttons!

Edit: oh i just read the clutch bit, just get a clutch you already have and wrap the material around it

I'd say keep them as they are and wear them in the summer with gladiator sandals, a white tank, bit straw hat and big, black chunky necklace!

i personally like them as is. with some docs and a plain tank would be cute. but if you're determined to change it, cut off shorts would be easiest

Animal prints are in and it will really be smart to make the most of that fabric. You can make hair accessories out of it , a bag, or even a short skirt. I suggest you hire someone to do the sewing job to make sure that you will not end up wasting a supposedly nice material.
