fantastic!!!
When a neighbor asked if i could hem her pants, and she had a few, I told her my machine isn't the kind that sews cloths, just quilts. she gave me a funny look, and never asked again.

It must be inherited in my family. We all do some sort of mending of clothes, sleeping bags, socks etc. Well except for my younger sister, her idea of mending something is to wait for Mom to come visit.....lol
I usually have a mending binge, I gather all the things that require some attention and watch a couple movies. Before I know it I am done.

Great idea! And the wear is the same so matches perfectly! I don't mind mending. It usually requires some thought about how to go about it and is like a puzzle for me. When it works it is very satisfying.

LOL Very creative! Love it! I don't like to mend either. Seems like it is such a big job for me & I will put it off as long as possible unless it is something that has to be done right now. I have had a lot of people over the years ask me to mend for them but I just tell them I don't mend. I will for family of close friends but that is different. I love Lynnie's answer to mending! lol

He liked the pocket even though it is non functioning because it prolongs the life of his jeans. He said, " too bad it doesn't open as I could keep my cell phone in it". Ya, like your cell phone on your knee would be a good idea.
