DH destroys his work clothes. He won't let me patch them because by the time they need patching the paint splatters and oil based stain is holding them together.
I get asked by coworkers to fix this or that. My stock answer is "Would you like to borrow a machine?" They always say "No" or "I have a machine." I then tell them how long it will take and how much it will be. My mending work has fallen way off. Hmmm... must be the recession.
