Mending






This top sheet has been around a long time; the fabric is so thin that it doesn't take much to put a tear into it. To mend it I cut the back from one of my old white t-shirts and stitched it onto the sheet with embroidery thread and large basting stitches. Then I went around the whole square on the sewing machine. It will be going back to UBC with Maura; I'm hoping it will last one more year.
