   Today's random repair task: put iron on patches on two pairs of pants (well... reapplied one, flipped the peeling patch to the inside of the pocket rather than outside). Will see how long that lasts me. Seriously considering pre-patching wear points on the inside of my pants BEFORE they wear a hole now (edge of my wallet, and rear end LOL). #sewing #repairs #diy
