I will be off to mom's tomorrow . Some food shopping and few chores. And I will be finishing up a bit of overdue mending. 
I worked on one project today using my cloth to cloth technique. I am sure these will hold together. For a long time. I have added extra lining to make the patching even more secure.
It works really well and I am sure I will never have to buy any clothes again. 
Ok, not so pretty, but they will do. Wait till you see the shirt. And the robe. I want to use the word rescue or restore here. Not refashion, let's leave the fashion out of it.
And speaking of mending and those simple kinds of satisfying things, you might visit here and join the merry band of cloth elves. Some things just make sense.
