Little edits in my life

Have you ever had something that you didn't like about yourself or something of yours?

I do. Plenty of things.

But tonight, I made a change!

Several months ago, I bought a shirt at Aeropostale for almost cheap-as-free. I think it was four bucks. Or less.

And I liked it well enough. I really just needed more "summer" clothes. (Maybe I bought it a year ago, even. Hm. I don't remember. Not important.)

However, the shirt had one feature that I hated. The shirt sleeves had strings attached that were meant to be tied. And on another girl, I am sure it would have been cute. However, on me, not so much.

Lately, while wearing the shirt, I would tuck the strings in--only for them to fall out later.

And tonight, I decided that I'd had enough!

So, for tonight, I was a seamstress!! . . . Kind of. I clipped off the annoying strings, and sewed up the ends. It looks a little funny, I think. But not terrible. I give myself a B.

Now, having never had a sewing lesson, this is pretty good. My goal was to draw attention away from the sleeves. Looking at them now, you might think that they had an odd shape, but at least your eyes wouldn't be drawn to the tacky strings.

What do you think? You can clearly see where I made a change. But, I think it's an improvement.
