easy alteration

Recently, I told my coffee friends about my failure to find a navy and white striped top,

I was rewarded with this shirt, found by one of the friends at an estate sale!

Unfortunately, it was a size too large.

I had to roll up the sleeves, and it stretched down to cover my hips.

And it had a turtleneck collar.

I wore it once.  It has since lain - forlorn and unworn. -

draped over the back of a chair...
awaiting its fate.

This morning, I took pinking shears to it!

I'm very pleased with this quick and easy alteration.

It's certain to get many wears in the future.
