I don't normally do this sort of thing but it was actually kind of fun, and I'm amused that I was about two points short of "addict" based purely on my natural ability at tests and general knowledge, since I've never even been drunk let alone taken anything illicit (or even nicotine)

Or is it just a really easy test? Did anyone get "Non user"?

Look! I altered a shirt! All by myself!



It was originally a men's shirt and thus long, baggy, and unflattering. It could do with being a bit more fitted (and overal better sewed :)) around the waist and sleeves but I'm still pretty proud of mysel. Apart from bringing a pillowcases seams in a bit, the last (and first)successful thing I sewed was a small bag in 1994.

Also this is probably the first time since puberty that I've owned a t-shirt which fit over my hips without bunching, being both short and distinctly pear-shaped means that everything is either too tight and/or assumes I have (relatively) wide shoulders and a long torso. *looks forward to having my clothes actually fit, albeit in a haphazard, badly sewed sort of way*

I based it on this rather vague tutorial, I may look around for a better one since the sleeves need to be done better so as to not go all bunchy. And of course mad props go to [livejournal.com profile] nico_wolfwood and [livejournal.com profile] mandragora2003 for giving the sewing machine!
