Casmira Brazaitis 4/10/2024 4:08 AMI repaired my dog's towel coat- to use when he is very wet or after swimming. the seam had come undone at the front. I did this by hand sewing, and checked online how to end the stich as I had forgotten how to how to do that.

Zoe Anastas (SWMC) 4/10/2024 9:39 AMSpeaking of canine items--I repair my dog's toys. He is quite ravenous with his toys and instead of buying so many new ones I sew them back together. It gives me something to do with my hands when I am watching one of my kids soccer game or a movie.
