I moved things around this morning to get my sewing box and sewing machine out ready to sew the patch pockets to the jeans I bought with no pockets. I got set up and sewed the the patches to their backing material. It was a lovely morning so we decided to have a walk and see if we could find the path to the Loch of the Lowes. The hill we had to walk up was very steep, Tina strode on ahead and I breathlessly caught up when she stopped for a bit! I took some pics.
I had a rest for a while when we got back and went back to the jeans. I hd thought on the way back from our wok that is would be very difficult to attach patch pockets to ready made trousers. I wasn’t wrong it was a bit of a nightmare, but I got there in the end.
A day with a lot of exercise and creativity then. From the pics it does look steep, and a long walk. I walked to town and back this morning and that was enough on flat roads, so I think I got the best option! I’m sure walking up there would have killed me. Maybe next time go in the summer and take a flask and a packed lunch, and maybe a little folding stool 😊
ReplyDeleteThe temporary prison looks a bit cramped, and I wouldn’t want to be in it if the river flooded! But I don’t suppose they worried about that too much.
Considering the effort you had to put into the pockets, I’d say it was well worth it. They look really good and quite trendy. I thought ladies of a certain age had to wear tweed skirts and crocheted cardigans. But you’ve never followed everyone else 😊
Not surprised you’re pooped after dragging yourself up that hill! I’d clear the bed asap. Nothing worse than forgetting and it all still being there when you want to get in.
Enjoy what’s left of the evening.
Yes, a successful day in the end, and I didn’t give up on the hill even though I was tempted, sme went for the trousers really when I was struggling not to sew bits that should be sewn!
ReplyDeleteI need to get better on that hill before trying to get further! I try and curb my tendency to have ‘bright ideas’ in the future.
