a short revision

I didn't expect too much from these high-waisted shorts from alloy, considering the fabric on the fabric-covered buttons tore off when I hand-washed them for the first time. But what's a girl to do with an otherwise perfectly good pair of shorts?



Enter my grandmother's stash of buttons. (Everyone's grandma has a stash of buttons, right?)

Five hand stitches later, I had myself a pair of gold-buttoned, high-waisted shorts, looking more nautical than ever. (And more wrinkly than ever, but let's ignore that right now.)

...VICTORY!
