My ex son-in-law worked with concrete so his jeans always had holes in them! I lovely patched many and the "guys" ended up calling him Patches!
So sad that he abused his marriage vows and my daughter divorced him. I miss the happiness we all had and what could have been. Time has gone by and my heart hurts less. I, guess that's life. I've sewn since I was pre-teen and now into my senior years still sewing whatever comes along!
