Altered: Thrifted Skirt
Last week I posted some of my finds which included a skirt from a local Salvation Army.
I mentioned that the skirt needed some alteration and for once I didn't procrastinate, got it hemmed and photographed it so I could show you!
So here is the skirt before alteration:
The skirt was far too long for my taste.
I'm really not a fond of my legs and this skirt just fell in that "cankle" area which I found to make my legs look even less attractive and the skirt rather unflattering and kind of dowdy looking.
So, I took the skirt up quite a bit and I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

(I've been reading the manual that came with the machine and there are
just so many things it is capable of!)
Some more pictures, might as well turn this into a closet post!

In a bit of unrelated blog business, have you noticed the new design and layout?
I'm always changing things around here at The Sea, mostly because I'm never satisfied! I also love to make banners for the blog and I am especially fond of this one so I think it might be sticking around for a while. I picked up the vintage sea serpent image over at The Vintage Moth and the rest just kind of fell into place thanks to the magic of photoshop.
Also, the music is back with a few "new" moon related tunes and unfortunately a few advertisements.
It seems that playlist.com has become less than cool so we'll see how long this lasts.
I suppose I should ask, since I've been wondering,
do you like hearing music when you come here or is it annoying?
Please be honest!
I'd hate be annoying the very folks that are kind enough to come read my ramblings!
