Did it!
Today is the Sabbath and thus I was blessed to have successfully altered one pair of Dennis’ pants.
When Dennis was going through the surgeries to have his toes removed on his left foot, it was important to have a pair of pants with zippers at the base of the legs. There was no choice for length. They were long to say the least. They filled the bill.
Today was the day! The first thing was to cut out the zippers in the legs. The serger that Kersten gave me from her grandma’s sewing room is a sweet tool to have and to use. With four spools of thread to use . . . no bobbin. My luck was one of the two needles needed to be threaded. Putting the unit at a 90 degree position on the table, I could get at the tiny spot that was needed. Dennis now has a nice pair of pants that he need not wear hiked up to his bobbies so he doesn’t trip on them.
I stayed in the studio a bit longer and went through a supply drawer looking for size 28 needles for darning. Darning needles work great for counted cross stitch. You do not want a needle with a sharp point. Oh my gosh! Businesses at one time gave out bi-fold packets of needles as an advertising tool. The variety and age of needle packets I ran across is amazing. I took out what I needed and yup . . . back in the supply drawer they went.
Last night about supper time, it started sprinkling. When all was said and done, the patio porch wood floor showed signs of moisture. Where did that so called little shower of rain come from? This was definitely the year for no carpeting to be replaced . . . it it won’t be at all.
**As I look out right now, at three in the afternoon, light rain is coming down with very gray skies. Hmm.
As both of us have had a very sedentary day, I have no idea what supper will be. It’s one of those mysteries of life.
With that I take my leave. ♥
