I'm Crafty!

I'm so proud of myself and my sister-in-law, Liz, would be so proud of me too (and any of you crafty people). I bought these capris on clearance and I thought that I could just take the stitch out and they would be long enough - but I miscalculated. They were just a little too short so I decided to embellish them to make them longer. I went to the store and bought some ribbon and lace and sewed them together, then I sewed that to the bottom of her jeans. Now they're long enough - and when summer comes I'll just take off the ribbon and cuff them again. Wow, I feel so frugal (and crafty)!


The left side is what they looked like when I bought them. (No, the
attitude didn't come with the pants - she gave that to me for free!)
