While I was working on my shoebox block, my husband brought me 2 pairs of shorts that our neighbor couldn't repair. She's a wonderful neighbor but doesn't have a sewing machine or needle in the house. And she has stage 4 lung cancer so she's not up to doing the job. The shorts were for her grandson. The grandson is a great kid but overweight and had really done a job on the shorts. It took me a couple of hours to repair them but I'm glad I did. I'm not a seamstress but did the best I could. I know money is tight and thought he would need them ASAP. I'm glad I helped in a small way. Lynn
