There are at least half a dozen pieces in my closet which need to shortened in some way, and as much as I would like to be able to wear them, I tend to procrastinate. A lot. It seems likely that some of the more summery dresses might not be dealt with until next summer, (hours before I want to leave the house in it) and maybe the jeans will just don a raw hem instead of a rolled one. Also if hemming your jeans simply by taking a pair of scissors and cutting them seems like a challenge, I've seen dozens how how-to posts addressing the subject. I find it remarkable how many steps (with photos) can be extrapolated from what I would consider common knowledge of using a ruler and a pair of scissors. But what do I know? I'm sure those who created such tutorials did so having studied trending google searches and are reaping the benefits of their SEO prowess.
I come to you only with the mention that when I finally mustered up the energy to chop three and a half inches off of this dress, rather than toss the selvage as I've done countless times before, I decided to make a hair scarf scrunchie instead. (So no, I'm not capitalizing on the trendiness of scrunchies and including a tutorial on how to sew a tube of fabric, SEO be damned.) Past the age of thirteen I was fairly certain I would never wear a scrunchie again, let alone one to match my dress, but I wont deny that I'm enjoying it. For once I turned the annoyance of being short and needing to hem everything into a bonus; a tall person could never have done this.
