Wow how amazing. I don't think I would have the patience to do that.

That was amazing such detail. I know I don't have that type of patience.

Re doing a hem or seam is my limit.

What was once very frustrating buying overalls my toddler and having to go over every seam it would have been easier to make them in the first place.

I saw that a while back and it is amazing work, a true calling.

I enjoy mending and making it work as well as possible, but those folks are doing clothing resurrection. :-D
