I found some red thread in my sewing box. And then I set up my sewing machine. So, I sewed a scrap piece of denim on the inside, using yellow thread to hide my stitching. Then I used blue thread to hand sew around the hole, to keep the hole from getting any bigger. appeared first on The Frugal Girl. She got it.

I used yellow thread and sewed over the existing yellow stitching…so the patch is securely in place, but my stitching is basically invisible. I still need to sew down those frayed parts a bit, and secure the belt loop better, and then I’ll be done with this fix. appeared first on The Frugal Girl. a pretty leaf!

Learning to sew takes time and equipment. A super short history of sewing. In many parts of the US, people learned to sew as part of their life skills – from parents or family or schools. Although Mom didn’t sew much (she did mend), she made sure I took Home Ec in high school. Clothing is cheap, sewing is not.

Luckily, I had a little bit of white cotton yarn in my drawer, and I found a big needle in the sewing box I had grabbed from the abandoned house. So, I was able to sew it up, and while my fix is not beautiful, it IS functional, and that is what matters when it comes to dishcloths. appeared first on The Frugal Girl.

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. The post Q&A | cinnamon, SIM, jeans, and grocery spending appeared first on The Frugal Girl.
