Well I have been going through my things, piece by piece, inspecting them for any damage or sizing issues. I have been amazed at how many of my clothing pieces have "issues"~ I have slowly been working through a really big pile of clothes:
mending, taking in, fixing zippers, shortening hemlines, and replacing buttons. The great thing too is each piece has taken hardly anytime to repair which leads me to wonder why I didn't do this sooner!
Here is one project:
I had found this tee shirt at J Crew a while back. It was perfect with the words "Smith's Pub" on it (our last name ~ and Mike brews here at the house). What was imperfect was the fact that it was a man's tee shirt and was too large and boxy. In a matter of 5 minutes I had cut down the sides and opened up the neck line. Now it is much more fun and wearable!
The pile is now gone. I have finished the last of the wardrobe repairs and it is a great feeling to know that I can grab anything out of my closet and be ready to get out the door.
I just went through my jewelry today (I am having some organizational craziness going on lately~more than usual and thats scary.) Anyhow, got my jewelry back in order and pulled out a few pieces that need repair. My handyman husband should be able to get those back to new tonight!
