I have an old pair of Caribou cotton leggings that I love and I’ve tried to keep them going by mending the crotch because I can’t find anything to replace them. I wish I could have gone to a Leonard Cohen concert. What a sexy man!!
I have been adding patches to my Dad’s old WOOL tartan ( very similar to the Dunbar tartan) housecoat for many years. The older I get, the more I appreciate the warmth of the wool. I have a lot of wool in my stash from de-pleated tartan skirts and I think I can find enough red of similar tartans to make a new robe. I really need a warm robe in the morning in May and Sept. at my summer cabin in the mountains. Now I even bring the old robe home for fall, winter, and spring mornings. I just have to get at that project….

Hi, What kind of velvet do you prefer?
Pamela Maxfield-Ontko
Deanne’s white boots remind me of Emma Peel from the old Avengers episodes. Emma always had the best clothes!
Sandra Bennett
When you get to the edge of the rug, is some of it tucked under at the side of the frame? If so, how do you get to hook right up to the edge?
Thank you.

I mend a lot if the item is really worth it… “visible mending” is really popular right now but I’m more of an invisible mending girl.
Ann
Put mending off for as long as possible
Pamela Maxfield-Ontko
Always mend things. Have embroidered over holes that I have in things. Learned to sew at 8 years old.

I mend things. I find it really satisfying. Sometimes, depending on where the mend I, I embroider over it.
Karen Croxall
Yes but big jobs go to my daughter. Hey she owes me right.?

My niece asks me to mend or alter her dance costumes…I so dislike it!!!!

I save things needing mending and do a bunch at a time. Usually b season.

I mend jeans but then they are only really decent for gardening or in my pottery studio
