scissor happy

what do you do when you love love love your gray cashmere/cotton sweater but your dog rips a bitty hole right at your belly button? 

why you just whip out your kid-scissors and slit it right down the middle.  since my sewing skills are incredibly limited, i decided to pretend the rolled edge was supposed to be that way...

when no one was the wiser i repeated the process with a sweater the perfect shade of azure that had a v neck meant to show off goods i don't have...

and when i couldn't find a cardi that i liked one morning, i pulled out this avocado crew neck number that makes everything just a tad too lumpy and hacked away at it...


no tutorial required.  just cut a line from hem to hem as straight as you can.
the edges roll in on themselves and the no-sew, refurbished cardi is born.


my scissors and i are scooping out a maxi dress that is dying to be worn with knee high boots and is begging to have it's ruffle donated to some couch pillows...
