Take care of your soul

Riding wild horses you can’t control
With all your glitter and all of your gold
Take care of your soul

Get a load of this: I, with the crafting dexterity of a swollen foot, DIY-ed something. Nevertheless, even my low-levelled sewing skills were sufficient to unlock this shiny new item in my wardrobe: frilly socks! Actually, perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them as a returning item rather than a new one. My clothes drawer was once awash with frilly socks, but alas – that was ten years ago and they have all been lost to time.

I had two lengths of these frills from the haberdashery in the market, which were just perfect for sewing onto these ankle socks, which are from Primark. It took a little practice trying to get the tensions right, because I underestimated the difference in elasticity between the socks and the frills, but I am immensely proud of myself for sewing something on my own.
