Here we have an item on the “jobs I’ve been procrastinating” list - fixing the elastic in my work pants. I need to replace 2 little bits of elastic in 5 separate pairs of pants, and I have just been putting it off because it seemed so fiddly! Turns out - yes fiddly. No where near as difficult as I thought though. So we are one elastic down, 9 more bits to go!

#craftychristmas 3 December- my stitched Advent Calendar. I found the pattern for this piece in the CrossStitcher Magazine when I was at university. It's missing a couple of squares- they're in my "to mend" pile- I've still got a week and a half until they're needed! . . #christmas #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #embroidery #mendingpile #quilting #advent #advent2017

A 1940's wedding dress that needs a little TLC. She's been in my mending and wash pile for several months... It's time to shower her with some restorative love. #thelifeofavintageseller #mendingpile #vintagerestoration #1940svintage #vintageclothingstore (at Vivian Vintage 8)

1932 jodhpurs (the manufature date was written on the tags! so cool) 1/4: I got these last year from a mouse-filled basement box and all need repairs. However they all fit me so I may not sell them 🙊 or repair them 😂 #vintage #mending #mendingpile #1930s #30sjodhpurs #jodhpurs #huntingpants #ridingpants #antique #oldclothes #custommade #boatsailpockets #laceup #vintagepants #truevintage #fashion #style #1930s #30sfashion #30sstyle #mensvintage #menswear #vintagemenswear #history #historicalfashion #vintagegirl
