Today I am working in the sewing room. Doing minor repairs. Making some stitch markers and stitch stoppers. Maybe even sewing on a button or 2. Maybe even a dog pillow or 2. The end result is going to be less projects piled up waiting for me.
The first completed repair jobs were 2 shopping bags that had holes that needed patching. The largest one with the turquoise bottom, got the small green patch today. You many have noticed that I tend to overlap the patches. I think that gives the bags more strength and less places to have break through holes. I have had this shopping bag since before we were married so last century. The one with the dark blue patch is newer. I find the newer bags need more repair work than the older ones. Just goes to show they don’t make things like they used to. Now they are heading to the laundry before they go back into rotation. I wash my bags with regularity and they seem to last longer. I also put my groceries in these bags so I want them clean.
Now back to the sewing room to see what I can finish today.
