I sewed for my grown children, which they put up with, I now sew for my grandchildren, who always ask for MORE - Grandkids are great!

The last was a pair of jeans with a rip almost all the way up the back of one leg! First I ironed all the fringed threads out and then took fabric from an old pair of jeans and usings my sleeve board pinned it together as close as I could. I then used jean thread to sew as close to the "fringe" as I could.
He LOVED it - and that says a lot coming from a teenager. I will try to post a photo.
