Fun & Un-fun Sewing :-)

I am sure we all have those 'un-fun' sewing tasks that, if you are like me, you put off and off and off.....  LOL Until the need is great. ;-)  

Hubby does all of our outside yard work with the exception of the flowerbeds and garden.  I do push the mower for him at times too. ;-)

And he is hard on jeans!!  It seems like all I have to do is blink and there goes another pair!  So today I took the third pair, which was totally patched and worn through the patches and used the backs of the legs (which were perfect!) to patch his other two pairs. 

 I rip up the side seam and then when I have a big patch in place and sewn down, I use my serger to sew the side seam back up.  I rarely use my serger, so this involves pulling it out, the dreaded threading, oiling etc.  It took me all morning to fix up two pair of jeans! But they are ready for at least another week! LOL

Yesterday I did some fun sewing~

These blocks are from Quilters Cache and are called 'The Dandy Quilt' 

 I love them in autumn colors!  I think I am ready for autumn. ;-)  

I have also been doing a little secret sewing, which I can't show you yet.  It was fun! 

Now I am off to do a little embroidery~ I think I deserve it after wrestling jeans, don't you?

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!
