How To Customize A Summer Top

I found this great little summer top at Marshall's a month or so ago for $12.99 and couldn't pass it up  even though the hole for the neck was a little tight and it was a little high under the arm.

After wearing this top several times, I finally stopped procrastinating and fixed the top.
It was super simple and it was finished before an episode of  Income Property on HGTV was over.

I just cut the existing strap off, leaving a 1/2". Then sewed a satin ribbon to it. 

Here's the before:

 


Here's how it looks after:

So much better and a lot more comfortable!
 

 
Will all fellow procrastinators please raise your hand???
