Tom is like that, too . . . he wants to keep wearing things until they can't be worn anymore -- and so far, we haven't discovered when that limit is! He has a pair of shorts that he's been wearing - and I've been mending - for at least 25 years. They're a standing family joke. (I think I even wrote a blog post about them once -- about 10 years ago.) I'm sure Justin will appreciate your mending efforts!

I patched two pairs of jeans and got another winter (went to few public places other than absolutely necessary) and this garden season out of them. I draw the line at repairing the crotch and upper inseam. I'm working on the finishing of Norah's cardigan and the traveling socks.

I thought about doing some visible mending with pretty embroidery, but decided that wouldn't be much to Justin's taste!<br /><br />After you told me about The Eighth Life, I bought it for my Kindle. I haven't started it yet, and will most likely wait until later in the fall or winter, but I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. Thank you for the recommendation and I am looking forward to getting started!Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-12421611289763771972021-09-29T15:06:14.026-04:002021-09-29T15:06:14.026-04:00You did some great mending and those pants look li...You did some great mending and those pants look like they will get more wear.

I think I'll need to buy a copy so I can read it again, more slowly, with my eyes because there was so much to take in.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-40824514414929233652021-09-29T08:09:23.182-04:002021-09-29T08:09:23.182-04:00Justin sounds like the men in my life who are most...Justin sounds like the men in my life who are most aptly described by Larry McMurtry's quote in Lonesome Dove - “You know Deets is like me - he's not one to quit on a garment just because it's got a little age - spoken by Augustus McCrae”. It's so true that it has become a family joke. I think your mending is good, and remember, they don't seem to care how it looks or you wouldn't have to mend it at all! <br />I am anxious to hear what you think of Matrix. I just put it on my wait list at the library.<br />becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-80899107463643475442021-09-29T07:55:56.986-04:002021-09-29T07:55:56.986-04:00fantastic repair work!

And for sure those fixes will get Justin through a couple more weeks of wear... perhaps just enough time for him to purchase a couple of new pairs! lol My repair work was no where near as masterful! I just sewed on a dozen buttons and tacked down some belt loops. But it felt so good to cross that off my list!
