A pair of jeans had developed rips and holes
My neighbour had some ripped jeans that he was about to cut into a pair of shorts but I offered to repair first. I patched the hole from the back and then using embroidery thread, stitched through from the front to reinforce the patch on there jeans.
To help someone and to practise my stitches!
It gives you a really good feeling repairing something, you are doing something constructive and sustainable.
