fabric scissors

it's 2:43am and clearly I should be asleep.

I just spent the last few hours cutting up old shirts
lately I've been really into short, loose/wide tops
not short to the point where it shows off your midriff
but short to where it falls right inbetween the normal hem of a t-shirt and just below the chest area
my recent love for these kinds of shirts spawned from a top I bought at forever 21
the shirt was too short and wide and loose
but I liked it
I've probably worn this shirt ten times in the past few weeks lolz
anyways
I've been looking for more shirts like these while I shop, but can never find one at the exact length that I want
so I decided to cut some of my old shirts instead
which led to me watching various t-shirt cutting videos on youtube
how-to videos showing you how to cut around the neckline a certain way, videos where you can braid the fabric of the t-shirt together by weaving, etc.
(in short: a lot wasted time mindlessly watching youtube)

the last shirt I cut up was this simple black t-shirt that I got for free at UT
it was one of those days where people promote their companies or w/e by posting up at west mall and giving away free shit
everyone loves free stuff
I spent some time modifying this last shirt
posting up some pictures later !

note: need to sharpen fabric scissors

EDIT ! @3:20pm



shown above: frontside of the t-shirt, braided sleeve, & gold pocket detail
originally was a plain black t-shirt
well, not totally plain
APARTMENT GURUS logo and information is plastered on the backside haha
and it said "apartment gurus" on the front as well, but I covered it with the pocket
this was more of an experimental shirt because that one sleeve looks alright at best, but the other one looks kinda ehhh
I stretched the fabric out too much because the incisions are supposed to be shorter on the outside and longer towards the middle, and originally it was cut that way but I kept cutting off parts of the sleeve to make it shorter
I have a strong compulsion to go to goodwill and buy many many old t-shirts to cut up.

went to joann's after class today
bought fabric to put on the wall in my dorm
and I bought more pretty paper to cut up and use to decorate
super super excited to decorate the room :)

oh and I got my test grade back today and it was the same score I received on the last test LOL
wow I usually suck ass at guessing answers
but this time it pulled through
DEFINITELY STUDYING TONIGHT FOR THE FINAL.
must drill that thought into my head

hmm that's all for now I suppose
my room looks like a war zone
it's so messy
and a million bits of fabric are strewn everywhere on top of that ahh

bye.

cavity fillings part uno

I just came back from having two cavities filled on the right side of my mouth
therefore the right side of my mouth is extremely numb
it feels so weird !
especially when I touch my lip
it just feels like a fat piece of flesh attached to my face
idk, it's strange
I prolonged getting my cavities filled this whole time basically because I was scared of the anaesthetic shots in the mouth
sighhh I'm such a pussy when it comes to shots :(
getting the other two cavities on the left side filled on thurs.
how the hell did I get four cavities at once :(

on a totally unrelated and unfortunate note:
I SLEPT THROUGH THE FIRST HOUR OF MY TEST TODAY WTF
also
I was supposed to wake up at 8am to cram three chapters of information into my head beforehand
which obviously didn't happen
so
I went into my test practically blind
THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
omg why why why why WHY do I do this ?!
I was able to frantically read through my notes during the test (it's open-book, open-notes) and fill in more than half of the answers on the exam in the last 40 min
still
I guessed on 14 out of 32 questions
sigh.
thankfully, she drops the lowest of the test grades, excluding the final exam
so I'd still have a 87ish test average
but basically: I suck.
and I seriously need to get my shit together by the start of this next semester

not sure what the rest of the day has in store for me
probably:
packing
listing shizz I need to buy
cleaning my hoarders-esque room
watching the new episode of Covert Affairs tonight (most recent show I've become obsessed with)
maybe studying for my final, etc. etc.

over and out.

hobby lobby

after talking w/meeshelle about our room this semester
