I don't necessarily like to mend or patch but if the garment is worth it I will do it out of love for my family including adult kids & gandkids. THere are alot of other things I am not to crazy about but I do them anyway...dishes, bathroom cleaning, hauling groceries home in sub zero cold or oppressive heat & humidity. I think it is kind of cute when my adult kids come to me for mending, spot removal advice. If it is more than a couple of minute project they will help make dinner, do dishes or whatever I need.

I agree! I don't want to patch holes, take anything in or let it out. I don't want to make or alter anything for anyone...not even grandchildren. I like to quilt and only quilt. My husband doesn't question it and asks carefully if he needs something fixed that can't easily be replaced.

I recently tried to patch my DH's jeans. They were fairly new. It didn't work and it was frustating. They are now in my saved jeans pile. I too have been asked to alter clothes and I always say now and refer them to an alteration shop.

My ex husband ask me to patch a pair of his jeans once. Being a good wife I went ahead and patched them. The hole was up in the crotch area and I was so proud of the finished work I had done. He was a trucker and he would stop and shower along the way and get clean clothes on. WELL! I didnt realize it, but as he got back in the truck and headed down the highway he hit a bump in the road and a pin got him in the crotch. I guess it was so painful he had to pull all 18 wheeles off the road and jump out and take a look at what had invaded his crotch area. He never asked me to patch anything after that.Maybe thats why he is now my ex hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol
