I fix anything: farmers overalls, machine shop work shirts, snowmobile suits, wool mittens. I find it's a like a puzzle and I do my best to make anything usable again.
My son gave me the quilt his daughter and I had made for them. One side had quite disintegrated. About a 2 foot by 4 foot piece needed to be replaced. I actually found some of the fabrics still in my stash but had to find something "almost" matching for one border. I told him when he puts it back on the bed, be sure and put the new piece in the same place so that the wear is put on the new pieces. I don't want to do that again to the same quilt, and by the time these new pieces wear out, it will be time for a new quilt.
