For example I like shirts but not their cuffs which even rolled jup are bulky and useless. So I cut them off above the wrist opening. Unhemmed they don't fray too much. I also have some shirts with sleeves entirely removed as like my open front cardigans, and sleeves are a nuisance when working with water.
My latest alteration, last night actually, was to cut off the hood and sleeves, and slice up the entire front, cardigan -wise, of a long cosy soft fleece that I wanted to wear in bed on top of my t shirt, as the night had turned cold almost freezing.
Have you told your child how much they hurt you, and does it help?
