...mostly...I've been playing with a baby...
...it's been a crazy month over at the
Porch Pillow Project...as I was posting a pattern for each letter of the alphabet...and I'm almost finished...so I'm pretty happy about that...hop over the the
Porch Pillow Project and check those out...your Monogram letter has probably been posted by now...unless you're in those last couple of letters...and I hope to have them all posted by the end of the month...
...but in other kind of crafty...repair/fix it news...these sling back closed toe shoes that Mom gave me last fall broke as I was putting them on for Church Sunday...the little strap just broke right at the seam...
...so I took my new seam ripper (that I bought with those found partial gift card a few weeks ago)...and ripped that seam open...
...and then I stuffed the broken off bit into the opening...
...and then just stitched it up quickly...with some strong white thread...
...and then I just coloured that with a brown marker...
...and wiped off the excess...and it's a pretty good match....and the strap is a little bit shorter now...but it still fastens fine...
...and I was happy with the quick fix...and I wore them to Church...it's nice to have them now that it's starting to be more fall-like...
...have you ever fixed a pair of shoes?...
~Have a lovely day!
...p.s....i...so...pale...
I have shoes like yours. Although one strap is bigger than the other and so I never wear them. I should dig them out and add something to the strap to keep it up. I like seeing how you repair things.
