The Frugal Girl

MARCH 6, 2024

I’m an older adult in college also, and I would love to have the option to listen to the books I have to read. Kristen, I have a sewing question. I was planning to cut a patch from a ripped pair of no longer worn jeans and then hand sew it from the inside out. I don’t know how to use a sewing machine so hand sewing it is.

So I took a needle and thread and just hand-sewed both of the ends closed. I resisted college Chick Fil A again This week I have two all-day simulation labs (where we take care of fake patients in the lab) and they are right next to the Chick-fil-A. This fabric texture, plus the print, made it very easy to make my fix invisible.

Sayward was just a teen, but she took charge of preparing her mother’s body for burial – instructing her sisters to help her wash her mom’s body, clean the clothing to bury her in and sew a pillow to put under her head. A home funeral can be assisted by a funeral director (for a fee) if the family so desires.

Most of my evenings/weekends are just hanging out (largely at home and in the yard with my family). Sewing holes in clothes, using up leftovers before they go bad, finding free activities for my little on the weekends, checking buy nothing or marketplace before purchasing- I am always just looking for ways to spend money.
