      @Mizmazzle definately feels satisfying to save it from near death.

      My thumb however is quite sore.....

      I think as I learn more I am going to have to invest in a few tools - finger protection is first on the list

            @GraemeE worked his magic on these two hoodies! Can’t wait to wear these more!

                These are going to take some serious blood, sweat and tears but I promised a friend I could keep them alive for her for at least a few more years

                    Just starting to see signs of a blowout on a pair of 17oz 666s so I'm testing out this method to see how well it contains it

                      @GraemeE Your work is inspiring. I’ve been playing with the idea of repairing a few items that are needing attention and this is pushing me in the right direction. Well done!

                        @Denman-John thank you - that's the exact same scenario that kicked me in the butt to learn how to start fixing my stuff

                        It's practical and relaxing (expect for the finger pokes)

                              Finally got the pocket that @GraemeE fixed up for me sewn back onto the jacket! Love it!

                                  @Denman-John you have nothing to lose - give it shot on something low stakes at first - worst case scenario you cut the thread and take it out

                                  The backing on Brocks pocket is this material

                                        @GraemeE so damn cool man! Love how the 777 crotch repair turned out. Brock’s pocket puts a damn smile on my face. Just has this happy energy to it.

                                        In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                          @Mizmazzle thanks man

                                          I'm stoked to find something to add my list of hobbies that's exponentially less expensive than most of my other ones.

                                          Bonus is that , in true Portland commie/hippie fashion, I have managed to trade fixing a few things for kids music lessons, herbal things and farm eggs$$$
