My husband is really hard on clothes. It still shocks me how often he has a wardrobe turnover, because I am still wearing clothes from my college years. There have probably been about 5 occasions when he has walked through our front door with his pants split open or a sleeve of his shirt ripped up. Like the time when he decided to take a bicycle for a test ride when he was wearing his expensive (tight fitting) work pants....they split right up the butt seam. I still laugh about that when I remember it.
But anyway, I have had a pile of his clothes sitting on my sewing table to be fixed and I made some time yesterday to tackle the mending. Most were shorts with little holes and I could use an iron on patch on the inside. But this pair had a bigger hole, right by a bulky seam and I couldn't get my machine to maneuver in the right spot. So I added a little heart patch on the outside.
When I showed it to him he said, "hey, you do love me". So nice to be appreciated.
