He also told me once, that one of the guys he worked with, wanted to know if I would patch some of his jeans, umm no. I work everyday and just don't want to patch clothes. I will sew up some things for the grandkids though, they are special. So anyone else not like to patch clothes.

Someone posted the other day that when they are asked to mend, she told them that she isn't qualified to do that properly. She is a quilter. I loved that, and will be using it next time I am hit up to mend something, lol.

He doesn't get mad about it, he usually jokes about it to friends. He always says, she has a $6000 machine, but it doesn't sew on buttons. BTW, it is not a $6000 machine, lol. I didn't enjoy cutting up the jeans, as much as I thought I would, so I may just pitch them.

Current DH wouldn't wear patched jeans.
