Mending is Beautiful

Wow! I absolutely love the mending job on these jeans by Sherri Lynn Wood from the daintytime blog. They're such a great reminder that mending is beautiful, and that it doesn't have to be just a boring old repair. I'd rather have these pants than a brand new pair any day!

Those are lovely! My 8 year old daughter recently shredded parts of a linen/rayon dress I'd just sewn up - she apologized then helped me in patching them by selecting the fabrics to mend them. I double-patched on both sides of the dress and free-motion stitched them down. Very fast and sloppy but it did the job and she loves it.
