Do you hand mend any of your clothing?

Sure, I mend little holes at times if the rest of the clothing is in good repair. I can hem things and take seams apart and redo things. If it's not in good repair it goes in the rag bin for changing or checking the oil on the car, and dirty jobs like that.

When I was a teenager, a favorite hobby of my best friend and I was to go to the thrift store and buy a boring dress or shirt or pants with a cute pattern, draw out how we wanted it to look and then try to resew things. It was pretty fun. And not a very expensive hubby considering the clothes and thread would be like a couple dollars. Some didn't quite turn out right. But it was fun. but some were pretty cool. We should have taken photos back then. Lol

I still use such skills, on rare occasions. I recently bought a new dress on clearance that was beautiful. One problem was the line under the bust and shoulder needed to be raised like an inch to fit right and look right because it didn't sit right. and the silhouette wasn't right without raising it. So I was able to do that for myself and it looks gorgeous. Same with a crop top I made around that time too. I should send a photo to my childhood best friend and show her 馃槀 she'll get a kick out of it that. #throwback
