I use my fancy stitches to do mending. Did I mention that I hate mending? I hemmed a pair of shorts for my Son in law to wear to work, where I also embroidered a label under the hem that said “ I hate mending -mom”. My DD and I giggled for months every time he wore them. Eventually he saw what I had done ( because DD told him), and still laughs about it.
I should tell you the shorts were navy blue, and the embroidery was done in neon green. Lol.
I leave my mark on everything I mend, but they just keep asking......
