It had been so long since I have sewn anything that the pup had never seen my sewing machine! Luckily, compared to the vacuum, this was a relatively easy orientation! #DogTraining

Tailored an oversized #ShopSecondHand sweater to fit a bit better by putting a French seam in the back and taking out a few inches. Two darts in the waist of a #ThriftStoreFind pants and now they fit in the legs and waist #RunnerProblems !

Fully embracing the #NormanRockwell of this holiday #MonDog ! Slowly stitching my way through my mending pile from under a mess of blankets and sleeping puppy. Favourite chew toy got repaired first - upholstery thread is amazing! One stuffy, one button, and I'm on the third pair of pants!
