My favorite skirt in the whole world, that I have put so much time and effort into, is totally unwearable because no matter how many times and how perfectly I patch it (seriously, the patches look incredible), the next day a new rip will form somewhere else. In the past I’ve also just bunched up the fabric around the split and held it together with a safety pin, which, as you can imagine, looks kind of ridiculous… Then people comment on how ghetto I look and I get self conscious and pack the skirt away in the closet.
But Nava has inspired me to embrace the imperfections. My project for this next week will be embellishing the holes on my skirt. (And putting new fabric behind the holes so my underwear doesn’t show…)
