But if you're anything like me, you just can't bring yourself to part with those old jeans. I have a pair of jeans that I've had since I was 17. I loved those jeans! My sister gave them to me, and they were just the style that I loved (back then! Oh, they are pleated jeans, cringe). So, I was pretty devastated when they got a hole (I always seem to get holes in the thigh, not the knee, no idea why). So I patched them. I started out with just one patch, but they got another hole, and another...and another...and....
I washed those jeans as I would my most delicate silk treasures, but still they got more holes. Eventually, I just had to accept that it was time to stop patching them. I can't bring myself to part with them though! I still love those jeans #^_^#I have another pair of favourite jeans with a hole (in the thigh again, go figure?) .... Should I start another pair of patchwork jeans? I think I'm going to have to!
Watch this space...

Keep patching! Eventually they'll be a pair of patchwork trousers held together by what used to be a fav pair of jeans - the bones will still be there though :-D
ReplyDeleteSadly they're not so comfortable as they used to be! It's been a while since I've worn them, and I've had two babies since then, lol! I tried them on the other day, just to prove to my husband that I still fit them...at least I could do them up, lol! There are even holes in the patches, I think that's why I stopped patching them, patching patches seemed a bit futile :)
