The Sewing Project from #"&@
I have been unpicking and replacing FOUR YARDS of frayed fringe on a Western shirt for a guy in our ward for the past several months. (He had cut and drilled holes in 230 wood buttons for our Pioneer Trek last year.) He wore it to a competition last week and TOOK FIRST PLACE FOR THE BEST COSTUME!! (Sorry I didn't take a picture of it - it was truly a work of art :)
I've been married to Kim (who is oh so very talented) since December 15, 1977. We have 5 terrific kids, 2 wonderful daughters-in-law, an awesome son-in-law, and last, but certainly not least, 4 adorable grandkids! I love the challenge of altering/mending clothes in creative ways. No, really - when someone brings an item to me, I can't wait to get started on it!
