Then I used blue thread to hand sew around the hole, to keep the hole from getting any bigger. Chiquita was interested in the spare bobbin. She got it.

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.
