I thought it would never end!
When determining the length I saw that I should multiply my final length by three to account for shrinkage while braiding. I don't know what happened but that was a BIG mistake…
Let’s Zhuzh Up a Crop Top!
I went to wear it one day and found myself putting it back for that reason and decided to do something about it right then. I have no idea what I originally had planned for that day, but my new ✨spontaneous✨ plan was fixing that top!
High quality fabric for cheap? The Secret is Second-hand.

Clothing Repair Day!
I was not ready to throw in the towel with these shirts, so I ordered some fabric glue and prepared to repair the designs. Thankfully I didn't lose any of the HTV pieces, so all I had to do was re-attach the flaps that were peeling.
