Nothing exciting to see here, folks!

It isn’t very exciting, is it?  It had a little problem as well!

Rrrrrrrip!!!

Oh dear!  The bottom crocheted detailing had begun to unravel and rip!  :/

Dress No More!

Next, I gave what was about to be my new top a new hem!

Cheers!

  1. Nice!
    And there’s nothing wrong with plain cotton elastic/drawstring pants, AKA scrubs, or lounge pants, or pj’s, or summer casual pants, etc. 🙂
