My hubby when he decided he needed new clothing for this wedding we are going to, promised me that he would hem his own pants. I was not surprised however when he informed me the next day that he simply did not have time and would I please do it for him?
At first I pretended I did not know what he was talking about. "What? Hem pants? How does one do that" That did not work.
So I tried to convince him that I could throw them through the sewing machine in no time.
To which I got the screwed up face complaint. "Can you do that without making the line at the bottom? Like blue jean? I do not want that, it has to be by hand. I can do a pair by hand in half an hour"
To this I bit my tongue and did not mention that he was running 5 minutes into his precious 30 min required to do his own pants! ha ha ha
Why is there not a hem stitch on my machine?? Isn't this why I bought such an expensive machine? Oh well, I will hem his darn pants - but I am going to drink a Corona while I do it and if the stitch is not perfect, he can do it himself next time. I just spent the evening cleaning both bathrooms, all the dishes, laundry, feeding animals, cleaning up animal messes and I am tired. Whah whah whah. Complaining done, time to crack that beer!
We cannot have a post without pictures! Here are some pics from the Isle of Wight, England.

Hubby and I got off the last bus at Needles Beach and the driver failed to mention that we would have to walk the 3 miles back into town. Whoops. |
The same expression I probably gave the hubby when he asked me to hem his pants. |
And who goes to England and does not come home with hundred of pictures of churches?? |
Cheers,
Carolyn
So funny! Glad you made sure you got a beer for your labor!
ReplyDeleteLove your expression. You have to tell people that you are a quilter not a sewer (and definitely not an alterer). Hope it works for you, it has never worked for me.
