But the truth is, I haven’t touched a sewing machine since that class. While I do own a sewing kit, if a seamstress were to examine my attempt at sewing a button on my coat, she would be appalled.
I have also been known to "repair" a ripped hem on my pants with Scotch tape. (Another dear friend and OKD reader once used a stapler—which makes me feel a little better about the tape!) Usually, when the hem rips on a pair of pants, I just consider it an excuse to go shopping and buy a new pair.
But today friends, I’m pleased to share that my lack of sewing skills will never again be a problem. Let me introduce you to one of my new favorite things:
When my Mighty Mendit showed up in the mail, I pulled four pairs of neglected pants out of my closet and—after a few seconds of careful handiwork—they are now as good as new. No needles, thread or scissors and no more feelings of insecurity about my lack of domestic skills. And what a relief to know that my hem will stay put even through storm force winds (according to the late Billy Mays)!Now if they would just create a Mighty Mendit-type solution to fix leaky pipes, electronics and automobiles, I could conquer the world!
Ok so am I the "dear friend"?? or do you have another dear friend who did that??? If I am the said dear friend I feel so honored to be included on your blog. However, I wish it would have been for something better than stapling the hem of my black pants!! ~Swetzel
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, dear friend. It's you. If it makes you feel better, I can talk about your other wonderful qualities on the blog too--like how fun and funny you are, how you have mad vocal skillz and how great you look in a sequined dress and jazz hands. Oh, and how you have the cutest little baby in the world!
