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.
