Ever wish your clothes fit you a little better?
Or that they could make life a little easier?
When was the last time I washed this?
Don’t worry, we’ve got clothing and shoe hacks
Sure to put your mind and body at ease.
Nothing like getting lost in a good book.
Oh Lily!
Want a little Wednesday pick-me-up?
For me?
Thanks, Kevin!
You’re always so thoughtful!
What could it be?
Aw!
It’s so beautiful!
I think I’m gonna go try it on, okay?
Ooh, I dunno…
You look great!
I wish I could tailor it a bit.
In fact, why don’t I?
Lay the sweater down on a table.
Then cut across its middle in a straight line.
Yep, nice and straight!
And believe it or not,
that’s all you have to do!
And?
Wow, is that better or what?!
What do you think, Kevin?
Wow!
Is that the same sweater I bought you?
How’d you think to do that?
It was just a little snip!
Geez!
Alright,
My hair’s done.
All I have to do is get dressed!
I need to do laundry,
cuz these are all I have left!
Think this guy is clean enough?
Looks harmless.
What died in this?
Pee-you!
I can’t go to class without a top!
Unless…
No one’s watching, right?
I’m just gonna open this up…
Good, Kevin’s preoccupied.
His closet is all mine!
Let’s see here…
This is a good color for me, right?
With a couple tweaks, of course.
I’d better go before Kev notices I’m here!
Yikes, I’m swimming in this thing!
Is there something I can do to tighten it?
Start by tucking in the shirt into your jeans.
Make sure it’s not too bunchy.
Then use your bra strap to pull the sleeve up.
Then tuck it in so it’s smooth.
Don’t forget the other side, Lily!
Who knew bras could be so versatile, right?
That’s more like it!
Are my eyes mistaken,
because that shirt looks seriously awesome!
That was close!
Isn’t it amazing what a little accessorizing can do?
I’ll call this a win!
Wardrobe issues don’t just happen to clothing.
It can happen to footwear too.
These things never stay tied!
I’d better tie it tight so I don’t trip.
And done.
That oughta do it.
Ah.
Are you kidding me?
Now this one’s untied?
The drama never ends!
But perhaps the solution is right under your nose.
Woah.
Where’d you get laces like that?
I could use some cuz mine keep coming undone.
Don’t you know the special trick?
Loop the lace around itself like this.
Keep going until it’s wrapped all the way.
Then take the end and pull it through.
Keep pulling until it’s tight.
Now it’s coiled, see?
Then repeat the same exact thing on the other side.
Don’t forget to pull it all the way through.
This one’s a bit trickier.
There.
Now both laces are nice and coiled.
Bring them both together
and stick one end into the other’s coils.
Now do the same thing with the other end.
Make sure to pull it all the way through.
There it is!
Now pull both ends and push the coils toward the middle.
Pull them nice and tight.
Pretty cool, right?
I’m never gonna trip on these things again!
But can I still take them off?
Well, that was easy!
HEY!
Kevin! Wake up!
Let’s go, c’mon!
Don’t you want to run in the morning air?
C’mon, you promised you’d come!
There’s no need to get violent, bro!
But I will snag these sweats if you don’t mind.
Want to give old sweats an update?
Cuff up the cut legs like this.
Then take them over to the sewing machine
and put a running stitch over the fold.
Now you have a cute new pair of shorts!
But we’re not done yet.
Cut along the bottom of the pant leg.
Then cut it into three different pieces.
Back to the machine!
Stitch two of the pieces together like this.
Once you’re done doing that,
Sew the third piece against one other piece.
Then sew the remaining ends together.
Now you should have a circle-like shape.
Next, grab some stretchy string
And fold the ends over them on either side.
And after you sew it it’ll look like this.
Okay, time to roll out that yoga mat and stretch.
With some good workout tunes, of course.
GAH! IS THE WORLD ENDING?!
That music is incredibly loud!
I was fast asleep!
I guess I’ll get up then.
Are we gonna work out?
What’s this?
I don’t remember doing an art project.
Must’ve been crafting in my sleep again.
Nice workout gear, Lily!
I found this —
Woah.
What you’ve never seen workout gear before?
Mystery solved.
Sometimes, avoiding clothing mishaps
means asking for a second opinion.
Uh, that outfit’s kinda, you know.
Really?
What if I make a little style change?
Now is this better?
But why is it so bunchy?
UGHH.
What else can I do?
This elastic could totally work!
No braid today.
Gather your shirt from underneath and fold it.
Once it’s bunched,
tie it with the elastic.
Then tuck it under like this.
Cute, right?
Kevin!
Huh?
Woah!
That top looks totally different now!
I know, I’m fabulous.
Bye!
Before a hot date,
Kevin makes sure he looks flawless.
And I’m doing great on time!
I sure hope she likes these flowers.
Just gotta put on my shoes and I’ll go.
Ooh, these look all worn out!
I only have ten minutes!
Lily!
Can I snag that iron for a sec?
Okay.
Let’s do it!
Before anything, take the laces out.
Then stuff some fabric in the toe.
Put a strip of fabric over where you’ll iron
and spray it with water.
Then slowly press the iron over the shoe.
After a minute or so it should be ready.
Can you see the difference?
Those kicks are fresh to death, Kev!
Who knew such a simple finishing touch
could make such a difference!
Impressive!
I’d better get going.
And I’d better run!
Kevin said he’d be here by nine.
Sorry I’m late!
These flowers sure make up for it!
Very smooth.
