In case you haven’t heard, March is Mending Month. I do a lot of mending both on clothes and on items around the house, but nothing terribly exciting has popped up recently that seemed worth sharing.
Then I broke the little red tip off the head of my seam ripper and proceeded to stab myself in the thumb. Ouch! Now, a seam ripper is a super cheap tool and I have dulled my fair share of them. This particular one is fairly new and I hated to buy a new one when it’s still in fine stitch-picking shape. While casting my mind around for a solution to this problem, my eyes landed on my tray of ball head straight pins.
Now there’s a thought!
It took about 5 minutes, and that’s including the time it took for me to run and grab my camera!

I break mine all the time doing clothing recon. Seam rippers aren't friends with denim! It's about time I figured out how to fix one. :)
