I really do enjoy mending! It puts something back into use that would otherwise go into the garbage. If I get something to mend from
family, I may tell them that it might take a while. But then it is in my sewing room, and I can always see it, so I would like to get this out of here, so I do it right now. It's fun to get it done and back to the owner. The thing that took the longest to do was my grandson's snowmobile glove. He brought it in January, but had had shoulder surgery, so would not be using it until next year. I fixed it in April just because I wanted it gone.
