I know I hate doing all of that stuff and usually end up just rolling my sleeves, etc. up rather than hemming. Hubby always says "it's too bad you don't know anyone who sews"! I just agree and keep on going

LOL - My husband is always asking me to fix wierd stuff or make something. I keep telling him I am a quilter - not a seamstress - that they are two different things. He still hasn't gotten it yet. What am I to do?

I once made a boat cover for my first DH. . . but I am keeping that a deep, dark secret from my second DH mainly because he has a bigger boat, or the shock might kill him and I have zero desire to be a widow again. But the real reason I suppose is DH might put that to the test and it would use up precious quilt piecing time. Mending jeans is small potatoes especially if you have a machine that handles it. Still. . . one does have to keep the quilting thing the main thing and make sure everyone knows your priorities! I am BAD.
