Get yer threaders and needles and glue and rick rack on, because it's going to be a gas.

My spouse pointed out to me that if I had bought one at that price, it would be about the same amount of money now (adjusted for inflation).

I would also be very very old.

In the hold line at Seattle Public Library.
I did like this example a lot.

I don't know that I have to explain to you why mending is fundamental.

To right a wrong
Yes, I stopped to take a photo. I spare NOTHING, I swear it.

To revisit an old friend
Okay, I wear this Beacon robe every day, and that might be the problem. I lined the shoulder yoke. Still going great.

To touch history
Sadly, this will not be here in time for March.
Ebay search terms you really need:
Darning, Machine.
