Lately, it seems like I've been spending more time mending than sewing something new. This past week it was all about altering curtains. Two sets of kitchen curtains required some additional length so there was some quality time with the seam ripper to open up the upper casings and to add length by adding a facing and new casing. Not my favourite type of sewing but I'm happy that it is off the list of things to do.
My heart broke a little when I found this fraying at one of the edges of this duvet cover. I wasn't sure how I was going to mend this one. In the end, I just used some linen fabric to make a patch and hand stitched it in place.
I would like to go back to this and do some decorative stitching. For now, it's covered up and safe to put away.
Stand strong, elbows up and keep mending.
