So, I've long been meaning to learn how to sew. It seems fun, and my mom owns an old but extremely reliable sewing machine...
But there's never like, time and spoons for it, y'know?
So I have this tshirt that I've owned for years and that's finally nearing the end of its life. It actually has a bunch of small holes in it after the last wash.
So I was going to turn those holes into longer rips with a razor blade, to give the thing a second life as a more revealing and also punkish top.
But then I was like, hmmm. Hmmmmmmmm.
So I started playing around with it. Cutting and sewing things on and together, and ripping and adjusting and measuring and looking things up on Pinterest...
More than four hours of that passed.
And I'm happy to report that the end result is... pretty much useless xD
What did you expect, this is the first time I've ever attempted sewing a thing, ever.
But had such fun! I was in the zone, it was amazing.
And more importantly, I learnt so much, I think. What works and what doesn't, what makes body parts look good or bad, how to emphasise things (or de-), how fabric behaves and so much more.
Definitely going to return to this soon. It's so much fun!!!
