Mending Mondays

Last week I shortened these ski pants.  This week they are on the mending pile because I cut and shortened the interior elastic piece and reinstalled it the wrong side.  Ooops!  

I just cut them off and finished the edge on the serger and calling it done.  

Replacing buttons always seem to take the most time.  This vest has been hanging out in the mending pile for weeks.  It's now making its way back into the closet.  How I missed those lovely pleated pockets!

Remember that turtleneck dress I recently refashioned into a pull-on skirt?  Well, the left over piece from the dress is perfect for sewing patches on my socks.  

Well, that's all that I managed to fix from the mending pile today.  

Stand strong, elbows up and keep sewing.
