The world would be a better place if women sewed and baked, and men and their children appreciated the effort in not thinking clothes came free from Walmart like their bread.
10 out of 10 people would not have done what I have just done and that is with a razor blade I stripped the felt lining out of a pair of worn out pants I had.
I didn't really have them as someone threw them away originally in the laundromat I wash clothes at. they were filthy and in need, so I needed them for my Mom and traded her for a pair of pants I did have........and I love my Mom, so it was a bad trade, and I patched the frayed and worn out things last year in thinking they would be good for years............and they went to hell this past month in ripping out.
I planned to patch them, but that was not going to work, so the Holy Ghost said to stip the felt lining out and put them in a new pair. That sounded more like a Mom job, but God gave me a pair of Carharts for 2.50 this past week and today I got a wild hair and started the process.
Mom did help in the razor blade cutting seams, but I got the rivets out with a pincher, and then with my sewing machine, ended up using off language as it would not sew denim.
That meant I sewed for about 3 hours by hand. I do like sewing, but am not the best at it. It is a wonderful thing in needle and thread in what they mean and accomplish. Something of a craft and artform in Sacred Geometry.
God was good in Inspiring in I just sewed the felt to the seams that went around the waist and the legs. Worked out pretty good really, as it saved stripping all that out.
Only real problem is that the Walmart brand which I forget is built for not thin people as I run. It caused some bunching in the sewing as the Carhart's are narrow legged which makes putting them on an adventure of sorts until I guess the felt finds places it will not move as easily.
Probably help not wearing big socks, but it is winter of sorts so that kind of goes with the territory.
Am very pleased with my pants as they would be around 60 bucks from LL Bean and Walmart is around 25. Bastards at Walmart overcharged me over Christmas and when I complained online they pissed around at me. Well here they are being exposed for pissers, both of them.........as sewing is hard with even a machine that works in Latin America or Asia in those poor women, and LL Bean sells the same blessed pants Walmart does, and both are making one hell of a profit off of slave labor.
Walmart probably makes 20 dollars a pair of pants and LL Bean makes 55 dollars. I do not know how these people sleep at night knowing their big salaries are there because some poor girl is working her joints to cripple status, so the rich Yanks can pretend they have morals too.
Be so damn hard for them to cut profits in half at Walmart so poor people can afford pants here and afford to not die cripples in the 3rd world.
Is like this blog being stolen from for years, or those like Mark Levin seeing the light years after things have been covered here. I get to poke my fingers and bleed and they just throw things away and buy new.
At least my pants have my DNA in them, I do bleed a nice red and quite well in being poked in both ends of the needle. Only part about sexing I dislike is that bleeding part....threading needles too is something I do not like, and thread bunching up as it always seems to have a mind of it's own even after training.
The world was a better place when people appreciated things like sewing and baking. Things like having clothes, clean clothes to wear. Things like not having lice crawling on one. Things like eating and even having some clean water to drink.
Things like the written word which was actually worth reading and not lying to you in every sentence.
