It has been a long has been since the end of April since I have turned my sewing machines on. The sewjo has been on a long vacation. In an attempt to get things going again, I decided to start on the mending pile. The pile includes many items:
1. A pair of pants for my Mom that needs shortening. I do this out of love and will only do this sort of alterations for family members.
2. I made flannel pjs a couple of years ago. The elastic just gave out on them. So so much as I dislike this type of mending, I am going to replace the elastic. Ugh! A lot of time and effort went into making the pjs and generally they last a very long time. This will be worth my time to replace the elastic even if I am ripping out stitch and serging. There are two sets of pjs.
3. A pair of jeans for my husband. I actually do not mind this type of mending. This is just a general hole repair and does not take long to do.
4. Replace elastic on a few of my slips.
I think this all that is mending that is hanging out on my sewing table but who knows what else I may find in the pile. Hopefully, I can get this done fairly quickly and this will really get the ole sewjo going.
Happy Stitching!
