Well shit. I appear to have left my phone (yes, my iPhone) at school. They are now closed so I can' t be sure. Fuckity.

I just filled out a customer service satisfaction survey for a service call. One of the questions was "was the service person neat and well groomed?" Well he had long hair that was a bit unkempt and his khakis were wrinkled but he was a tech guy so I checked "meets expectations".

I figure if a service person doesn't smell funky and isn't all muddy/greasy when he shows up at my place, it's all good, as long as he does the job well and efficiently.

You guys! Casper is purring!! I think we've reached a feral kitten milestone!

yay for purring Casper!

. . . Oh, right, the kitten.

Congrats, Glamcookie. I'm glad Casper's feeling so comfortable around her new people.

Question: is it wise to hem a half-slip that's too long? By "wise" I mean, if I hem a half-slip that's too long, will it look horrible and too heavy at the bottom, thus making my dress's skirt look all heavy at the bottom?

I'm half-tempted to just cut it. But that would lead to dangling threads, wouldn't it?

Can you cut it and then do a little roll-hem? Better yet, do you have a serger that can cut and then stitch it for you?

Maybe cut it a little too short, and then add lace at the bottom as the hem?

I should have noted that I need to wear it tomorrow, and I don't have lace, although I could run out to Target and get something trim-like.

Can you cut it and then do a little roll-hem?

I should also note that I barely know how to sew on a button. So while I know what a roll-hem looks like, I assumed they were made by magical sewing elves.

Better yet, do you have a serger that can cut and then stitch it for you?

I truly have no idea what a serger is.

Possibly the cut-too-short-and-add-trim idea might work.

t edit Although if I'm going to run out to Target, I'm much more likely to buy an inexpensive short half-slip while I'm there, versus buying trim to sew on by hand.

Poor planning, c'est moi.
