Friday, August 22, 2008  Make your own knee patches  So do you
have a kid that wears holes in the knees of his pants in no time
flat? I do! I have been working on Back-To-School pants for my
boys and nothing breaks my heart more than to put my heart and
soul into their clothing just have a rip or stain happen right
off the bat. I know, I shouldn't be so attached, but I try my
hardest to give them RTW look, but made ever so lovingly by mom.
Yep, you won't get dorky clothes from me. I may be a sweatshop
of labor during the busy season, but my pay in hugs and kisses
make it well worth my efforts.  So today I was sewing up my
first pair of pant and thinking how thin the twill felt (a
remnant I had, no clue what it was from - can you say free
pants???). So I pondered for a second, what if I put another
layer in the knee area for double layer protection. I called my
trusty friend (thanks Kim!) to get her input. The verdict was
that two layers really isn't going to help unless I fuse them
together. Well we all know
