I won’t be sad to see 2020 go. I don’t feel like 2021 is going to magically different but I hope it’s going to trend in the right direction. The kids are out of school and daycare so we had a project day around the house. Today’s agenda: mend the kids pants.
We managed to mend the side seam in a 2 year old’s pair of sweat pants, the knee seam in a 6 year old’s pants and patch two holes in the 6 year old’s pants. Disclaimer…I have a sewing machine but I’m TOTALLY an amatuer.
My kids and I had fun pinning seams and running the foot pedal. And at the end of 45 minutes I got back three pairs of pants for my kids. Now, I will admit that the pair with holes and blue flannel patches are going to “wear only at home” kind of pants. But the other two pairs are good enough for wearing in public, at least in my humble opinion.
It was fun to do something with the kids and they were pretty excited to have their pants back in rotation.
Happy Mending!!

Yes, love this, we too often throw away and buy new instead of repairing 👍
Kids go through pants so fast anyhow and out grow them faster. Good job!
Nothing like some comfort sweatpants for the winter. Good lesson for the kids too.😀
