T...I just have to say, how much we think alike lol. That's exactly what happens to my clothes, after I'm through wearing it, it is only barely good enough to be a rag. They are much too worn for making anything like blankets or rag rugs. They are just cut in squares to be used in place of paper towels, usually to wipe up spills on the floor or to clean bird cages.<br /><br />Thank you for explaining more about the iron on patch. Nowadays, there are so many types of stabilizers, compared to the old days, but fusible interfacing by Pellon comes to mind, which I have in my stash. I think that would work as a patch, thank you for this great tip.<br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-25170654953176365832022-04-27T07:55:41.624-07:002022-04-27T07:55:41.624-07:00Same here, I can't use my Google account eithe...Same here, I can't use my Google account either. I thought I couldn't use it to comment because I created another Google account a few days ago and thought that may have confused my device. ( I am switching my old email to gmail, since I am planning to quit our old carrier, so same name just @gmail.com, just in case you may want to email me in the future.) My old Google account that i normally use was with hotmail. So confusing, I think I have created too many Google accounts for the various Google functions over all my devices. The device I currently use for comments sometimes changes Google accounts unknowingly, depending on the Google account I have used on my laptop and desktop (? Not sure) I don't understand how this all works, and just have to go with the flow.<br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-59136160829765499872022-04-26T20:11:03.897-07:002022-04-26T20:11:03.897-07:00P.S. that was Lili ^^^

A strip of this patching fabric was sold in a packet with the notions, but is not the same as what you'd patch jeans with, much much thinner. Anyways, it stabilizes knits and gives the thread something to hold onto when zig-zagging over a hole. <br />Ha ha -- I don't donate many clothing items because by the time I get done with them, the only thing someone would buy them for are rags! Outdated rags! I think it's a good thing you've hung onto these clothes. Like you said, you can go "shopping" in your own stash.Now that's a money-saver.<br />I hope you had a great day!

I have refrained from using iron on patches in mending thinking it would be stiff. I'll certainly try that next time since knits are difficult to mend without puckering. I need to get busy altering clothes that I don't quite like. In the past, I usually bought clothes because it was cheap thinking I can alter it to something better. What happened was I got lazy and lost interest. So now when I need something new, I will go to my bins of old but new clothes and alter that, no more buying period. I did not donate since I figured no one would want to buy my outdated clearanced clothes.<br /><br />Have a wonderful Tuesday,<br />Laura<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-28541640540711123422022-04-26T10:03:29.253-07:002022-04-26T10:03:29.253-07:00Good save!

Those days are long gone but I still mend anything in my wardrobe or my husband's wardrobe that needs it. I buy lots of sewing things at estate sales so I have a large variety of colored thread and can match just about anything.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024364480893258511noreply@blogger.com
