Material Witness

I recently had to hem a piece of burlap for a deer blind - the most awful stuff a sewing machine ever wants to see. Am taking suggestions on how to clean up the machine.

I'd rather take a beating than mend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I hate doing all of that stuff and usually end up just rolling my sleeves, etc. up rather than hemming. Hubby always says "it's too bad you don't know anyone who sews"! I just agree and keep on going

You should have patched it up with neon pink fabric, that'll teach him

LOL - My husband is always asking me to fix wierd stuff or make something. I keep telling him I am a quilter - not a seamstress - that they are two different things. He still hasn't gotten it yet. What am I to do?

Love him dearly anyway and say it with a smile every single time.

You could always put some "Colorful" patches on the jeans and low and behold he will go and buy his own new jeans!!!

I once made a boat cover for my first DH. . . but I am keeping that a deep, dark secret from my second DH mainly because he has a bigger boat, or the shock might kill him and I have zero desire to be a widow again. But the real reason I suppose is DH might put that to the test and it would use up precious quilt piecing time. Mending jeans is small potatoes especially if you have a machine that handles it. Still. . . one does have to keep the quilting thing the main thing and make sure everyone knows your priorities! I am BAD.

I'm so sorry, stitchinwitch! I'm going to give my husband a kiss right now. We need to treasure each other and show our love daily, you're right. Best wishes in this most difficult time.
