Asking a quilter to do mending is like asking Picasso to paint your garage. It's waaaay beneath you!

Use one sock from each pair and only throw one pair away. Problem solved. Oh, and the new trend is non matching socks. Again. Problem solved.

I've been on a tear making some charity quilt tops for the past week. I'm on my sixth. On my dresser are two pairs of socks, one toe hole in each pair. I like these socks too much to throw them out so I plan to make those small repairs. Some day.

LOL. My nephew told me once, that for a sewer, I was the only person in my family that rolled pants legs. LOL I still chuckle about that.

being a seamstress is not the same as being a quilter. the two activities use a few of the same tasks, but often not in the same way or in pursuit of the same type of finished item. |
I must inform my family regularly that my Bernina does not repair. It builds new!

Just pretend you are binding them. I have several pair like that also.

Hey, it's because you like the raggedy look!!!

When you get that far down on your stash then you can cross over to your cuffs and hem them. Or do what my neighbor does. She gets a large piece of trim and just stitched it over the cuff. Her DH walked in on her one day and asked why she didn't have her pants on even though she was otherwise dressed and she told him she was working on her britches as they spoke. He just walked out shaking his head!!!LOL!!! That is how she rolls!!!

I hate to sew but love to quilt.
Don't like mending or patterns that never fit. It costs less to buy ready made anyway. Hem pants by hand since my machine dosnt like bumps. You can buy a quilt for $39 dollars ready made. Even have a couple, one a wedding ring which I would never make and a tropical one with a beach cabin and fish. But it is fun to quilt so will continue to do so. |
