I have a pair of shorts that I have owned since I was a sophomore in high school. They used to be pants but I hemmed them. And I love them like my children, because they are long and threadbare and they cover my knees. I love my shorts, and up until a few weeks ago they were the only pair I owned. So you can imagine they got a lot of wear.

Last summer the ass wore right through on the left side.

Tonight I am attempting to fix them. I bought tablecloth fabric for a dollar fifty at work and I'm sewing a panel onto the entire back of the left side. HAPPY SUMMER HOBO TIME.

My fingers are full of poke holes. I can't figure out why the sewing machine isn't cooperating with me, and devilducky isn't here to do it for me. So I am sewing by hand. I have to get up at five thirty in the morning and I'm sewing these shorts and updating my journal and what the hell am I thinking. I have to finish this and get my ass to bed. I'll post a picture when they're done.
