    I love being able to repair my husband's and children's clothing, when I am able. If they are too beyond repair they do not expect me to do so...but,when I can, i do.

    My DH has his own machine and patches his own clothes. When asked if I sew, I say I play.

    You are soooo right! I hate altering (unless it's something very simple) or repairing and patching. Except possibly for my two little adorable grandsons!

    It is a hobby with me too and since I watch my two little grandsons four days a week (exhausting), I don't get to do much quilting or fun sewing as much as I'd like. :)

    I HATE IT!!! My DH pulls his belt loops off and he gets holes above the seems of his pockets. He wants me to patch them and they sit for a long time before I get them done. I am hoping he forgets I have them. I know, I'm terrible...lol

    I tell my family I am a Quilter not a mender and I tell them to take it to alteration shop near me.

    Mending is a pain and doesn't always hold up. Jean quilts are nice and warm.

    I so understand this.
    I make clothing, and I would rather make a whole shirt than mend something. I don't know what it is, I will have a shirt of my husband or son's hanging on my sewing chair for weeks and manage to ignore it the whole time I am sewing.
