Saturday's Mending Pile

Today's mending pile was a breeze to get through.  All thanks to a bit of free time at the serger.  

This slip made it to the mending pile not for a repair, rather to shorten it into a camisole.  It is almost nine years old!  

It felt good to know that this item has been in rotation for this long and now has a new purpose.  The hem on the slip was a twin needle hem.  This time around it was finished with the roll hem feature on the serger.  

This item ended up on the mending pile as soon as these two small holes were discovered while folding laundry.  It's a RTW merino wool crew neck sweater.  It's toasty warm so mending was in order.  

After changing the colour of thread on the serger, the rolled hem was used to hide the holes into what we'll say is "decorative stitching."  

Happy Mending!
