On Monday, January 5th, my Tim Gunn's Guide to Style tear-away calendar read, "You do have a tailor, don't you? Unless you know how to sew, begin searching for a good one today. One never knows when an emergency hem situation might arise."

He must have known that just two days after reading this, I would be wearing pants that are MUCH too long during a wintery-mixed weather day and wishing that someone could hem my brand-new pants immediatly.

He tried to help.
