Sewing timecrunch

I have so many projects i want to complete b4 next semester. Ive been working on my wardrobe for years and I finally like all of the outfits i wear. The problem is that whenever i go to buy clothes i buy with the intention of altering them but never actually get to it. For example i just scored two pairs of jorts that i'm so excited to wear but i need to take them in first. I just have a pile of 'to do' items.

Speaking of jorts (i hate that word but it paints a clearer picture that 'knee length jean shorts'), i got these pairs from the salvation army so the tag sale made them even cheaper; so i was totally psyched. Not to long after that i was on the phone with my friend and he said "you don't buy jorts you make them!"

Like, bitch. If you want to walk around looking like a fool in cutoffs be my guest, but i like finished hems and i don't want to do it myself. Its a pain enough that i have to take them in so they can fit my waist. but having to hem them on top of that? FUCK NO

idk why that made me so mad but i couldn't his audacity. i don't want to look like i'm attending a 4th of july barbeque

Anyways, im going on a fairly long drive soon so many i can work on some stuff then. Thats always a gamble though because 50% it give me the biggest headache to do anything in a moving vehicle.
