If they are don't cut them, just un-thread them. Then you could always thread them back if you wanted Karie on "A whole lotta love, but is it time to cut the ties?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-whole-lotta-love-but-is-it-time-to-cut-the-ties#post-990532 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 20:55:07 +0000 Karie 990532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ rachylou! JennyAnne! Neelie! You are on my side with leaving those ties alone, yes? The thing is, if I leave the ties on and roll them up, they are kind of bulky (the bulk is hidden in the back in the photo).  The scissors are still out on the counter...change is so hard! amiable on "A whole lotta love, but is it time to cut the ties?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-whole-lotta-love-but-is-it-time-to-cut-the-ties#post-990516 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 20:19:22 +0000 amiable 990516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree - I love them rolled!

Good heavens no, they're my summer favorites! I know, I know, I know, these approx. 7 yr. old white capris are not exactly the height of fashion any longer, but I love them! I will probably begin sobbing when they get a permanent stain or start shredding in the wash. I can hear DH now..."Are you OK? Has a tragedy happened? Accident? Death? YLF is down?" (The last one would cause me to sob!). But, OK, maybe I could bear to cut the drawstring ties off the bottom and roll them up?  Should I cut the drawstring ties or leave them be?
