Ferretfingers has unpicked the
inside leg seam of his trousers yet again - this time on the way home in the
taxi.
Not much I can do except hand-sew
them as
a) the treadle sewing machine is
buggered and
b) it's buried under unsorted stuff
from Sheffield.
Bess Cavalier Done correctly,
hand sewing can be a lot harder to unpick than machine sewing.
Bentonbag They seem to use
gossamer threads these days - but I've hand-sewn the seams on his trousers so
often I'm getting really fed up with it.
I think it's his scheme to try to be allowed
to wear elasticated waist pants rather than 'proper' trousers. But I'm not giving up. Also we're talking about the boy who once
removed the laminate from a Barclaycard #hisautistictalentisdestruction
One
Christmas Fester bought me an electric sewing machine, then Mrs Quilt gave me
this gorgeous expanding cabinet to keep it in and to encourage me to use it.
Resewing
the seams of trousers, other running repairs, taking in waistbands
(Thunderthighs is trimming down) and mask making are all a doddle, in
comparison to hand sewing.
It
just requires me to have the hwyl (as my Granma would say) and get going while
the spirit moves (as my Mum would say).
Sadly the hwyl and the spirit are sadly lacking at present and there are
three pairs of jeans waiting for attention.
Of
course now Ferretfingers is no longer in school, so not required to wear
‘proper’ trousers, he no longer destroys them.
