Gratitude 22 August 2016

• Learned how to sew a button on a sleeve.
• Worked alongside my mom to mend several items, which was great because my mom is very good at sewing. I had been keeping a plastic trug of broken things. Together, we fixed:

• The clasp on 1 shirt.
• The straps on 1 overnight bag and 2 backpacks.
• The button a thrift store Anne Taylor coat.
• Tears in my favorite quilt comforter.
• A ribbon belt on a dress.

• We added yellow ribbons to my backpack.

• I appreciated this because I was able to inexpensively repair some favorite things, spend time with my mom and learn from her and continue to use several items rather than throw them away.
• These are the types of things I'm getting done now that I'm no longer in school!
