years ago a teenager came to stay with me for awhile & I couldn't help noticing that her jeans were too long & torn to threads so after I washed them I cut off the ragged ends & turned them up, The horror on her face & she wouldn't wear them. One day she saw me stitching a border design & said you couldn't sew that on jeans so when she went to school I sewd the design on her jeans then washed them. When she came home I asked her to bring the dry clothes in off the line so I could keep an eye on the tea. The scream had me running & colliding halfway out the door to a big bear hug, kisses & about 20 thankyous. We spent the evening looking at designs then I was presented with 3 pr of jeans & asked if I could put designs on them so we made a bargain she did housework while I sewd. It still brings me joy when I think of it. She went home after 6 months with a lot of designs on her clothing & a pair of Towels for her parents
