Maureen that was a good laugh. My sister-in-law was always bringing me items to fix that her niece had pulled the seams out of or something she told someone else I could fix as I used to make our girls their dresses when they were little. With the nieces clothes I did have fun with that one. I double stitched them and gave them back. I told her that her niece was buying clothes to tight and she got upset and said that wasn't so and they don't sew them right at the factory. I've seen the clothes on her and they are skin tight. Then I got a new machine and I made a point of saying that I couldn't use it for any other purpose that for quilting and that was the end of that. They don't bother me anymore. I do mending for our kids but it is so rare.
