My pile of "Stuff to Fix" is getting bigger and bigger. I may have to break out the sewing box tonight.
It started with a second belt for El Burrito, now that he's almost outgrown the first one; navy, since Hobby Lobby was out of the cotton web and JoAnn's Fabric only had navy, no khaki.
My purse has been having issues for a while - a zipper and the nearby seam coming unstitched. Things are getting worse, so that needs to be dealt with.
So I stop at Hobby Lobby for a curved needle, because the zipper job will be a frustrating piece of work. And HL had khaki cotton web, so I bought a yard, plus more D-rings.
Found out on a rainy day last week that the umbrella has two ribs torn loose from the fabric.
Last weekend, I noticed that one of our blue HyVee shopping bags has a loose seam in one corner. Checked the others, and there are a couple more seam issues. For a $1 bag, they're doing well, and the fix seems like it'll be easy enough. My first time sewing "non-woven polypropylene" - we'll see how it goes.
And today I noticed that my red Acme Workhorse bag has some loose stitching on one inside corner.
I may be sewing while I watch NCIS tonight. At least I've got a thimble now - that cotton web can be tough going.
Did I mention? - no sewing machine. This is all hand work. Something else for the When We Move list.
