  Recycling Clothes
Well if you find my blog by chance and you know of some really cool sites that are recycling fabrics and or clothes please post me a comment with hte link as I like checking them out. I have recently found the joy of recycling old clothes, and then re-dyeing them to suit my needs.

  I Don't Mend Clothes
I think the title says it all. I don't have time to mend clothes, I'm too busy cooking, cleaning and the like. I will sew a button back onto my husbands work clothes, he has to have those for work, but I won't hem the pants, especially since his work place should have had that done already. I simply don't see how it's my job to fix what they should have done in the first place.

I do make clothes, I start out with fabrics I buy and actually am quite adept at using a pattern, I can even alter a pattern. I also knit and crochet clothes, mainly socks, hats, and scarves. I have one sweater I started about 10 years ago, I really should finish it some day.
 
I do beading, knit, quilt, and other textile work, but don't mend my families clothes.
