I have...Thanks for the links to mending tutorials. I have a pile of pants that recently wore out. Mine mostly wear out at the thighs, but I think I can work on that with the hole-fixing method. I hate to throw out pants that only have one (significant) hole. Most are khakis, so I can cannibalize one pair to make patches for the rest.<br /><br />I also like your "lengthening long johns" tutorial. I have some pants that shrank in the wash, just enough to make them floods. Your post gave me the idea to add a ring of denim to turn them back into wearable pants.<br /><br />I am even thinking about adulterating some tops that has slowly gotten shorter than I like. I am not wearing them at all now, so if it comes out weird, I didn't really lose anything.Matriarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626790347402266263noreply@blogger.com
