Hi Teresa!
-=> Quoting Teresa Herman to Wendy Buchanan <=-
 TH> I am having to do the same thing to my DH's clothes.  I made his
 TH> uniforms for  work because he is such a big guy, and the uniforms that
 TH> they rent him at work  are not as comfortable as what I have sewn him. 
He is a very lucky man, and you can tell him I said so!  
 TH> In the last 2 weeks, I have  replaced a button on jeans, reattached a
 TH> belt loop, and finished up a pair of  jeans I started 2 months ago. 
Men sure can be hard on clothes.  I keep telling my Tom that he
doesn't have to rip and tear his way out of his clothing, but he
hasn't listened to me so far.  
 TH> (He got a little bigger since I cut them out,  so I am glad they were
 TH> out of STRETCH denim.)  I made my seams as small as I  could, hope they
 TH> hold.  I used my triple stitch on the back seam.  And I  didn't break
 TH> any needles! 
Great!  I'll bet those will hold very nicely with a triple stitch!
 TH> made myself a  nightgown and p.j.s in the last few months, and have
 TH> fabric for a robe. 
I need a summer housecoat.  They are so expensive for even a cheap
tacky one in the stores.  If I wanted to wear cabbage roses it would
be okay, but I don't care for them.  And I really don't want to 
look that much like Gramma just yet!  
 TH> skirt is done? After I finished this, I made a log cabin flag.  One
 TH> corner was a blue field  with 4 pinwheels in it, and the stripes were
 TH> diagonal in red and white.  Came  out to 19 x 29 and really cute for
 TH> being made totally out of scraps.  I really  like it.  Just fits the
 TH> front door. I made a hot air balloon quilt block last night.  It isn't
 TH> perfect, but I  wanted to try the pattern and see how it looked.  I
 TH> like it, but will make a  few changes to it.
Oh, those sound so pretty!  I love pinwheels and log cabins, and the 
hot air balloon quilt must be lovely.  Those changes will make it
your personal pattern.
Have fun!
LadyBear Hugs,
Wendy
