Recently I have been able to post finished projects. This is not a true reflection of my reality. In the real world, my workbasket is full of WIP's (works in progress), UFO's (unfinished objects) and PHD's (projects half done). If they aren't in the workbasket, then they are hidden in the sewing room, allowing for… Continue reading Workbasket – WIP’s, UFO’s & PHD’s

Make Do & Mend Monday – Coat seam
Mending is mending. Mostly I mend for myself, but there are times it is for other people including my co-workers. Recently one such co-worker brought a brand new waterproof coat in with a seam that had unraveled, asking if it could be fixed. Pretty easy fix. Using the stitching holes that were already there and… Continue reading Make Do & Mend Monday – Coat seam

This is what I was able to complete since we last talked about such things: Double seemed up the small tear in the key pocket of a pair of bf's running shorts. Let the hem down in a pair of second hand pants that… Continue reading Mending Monday – A little of this and a little of that
Mending Monday – Boots again…
Yes, the tools are back out. Right after putting the button back on last week, I was in a hurry and managed to fling another button off the boot and across the room. That being said, this is only the fourth time I have had to put a button back on in all the years… Continue reading Mending Monday – Boots again…
2018 Year End Review…
It is the end of the year and I survived. This hasn't been my toughest year, but it tried to be in the running. This blog started in March, so it isn't even a full year to review. Which is OK because my life has been fractured enough that I haven't been able to work… Continue reading 2018 Year End Review…
