So Aidan asked me the other day if I'd be able to mend some of his jeans. I said sure so he brought two pairs over.
I noted that I'd already done some mending on each one. This pair was pretty straight forward although I couldn't get the leg in under the sewing machine needle.
Oh well, I thought, I'll just do it by hand. I found a bright scrap of fabric to use in behind the hole, whip-stitched around the outside edges, then did a blanket stitch around the edge of the hole using a cotton pearl thread that's heavier than the usual sewing thread. Almost more like an embroidery thread.
Well that wasn't so bad!
Then I get to this pair:
What in the world!? I'm thinking Aidan needs new pants!
I'm still chuckling over this...
