I'm repairing a pair of pants for my friend. I've also taken the pants up and extended one pocket (I don't want to do the other one, but this pocket is now big enough for his phone)
There are patches in the crotch both front and back to put it back together.

I still have bit to do on this but it's coming togey. I've also taken up the hem on the legs as they were too long.
I'm doin this on and off when I'm well enough to do so.

All done by hand entirely

Footrest surrounding my sewing machine foot pedal, so that both heels are at the correct height for my chair and I depress the pedal with toe pressure -- this means I never need to use energy to keep my foot up off the pedal and my other leg is not in an off-balance position while I'm at the machine.

Prior to this, when tired I'd press the pedal by collapsing my foot towards the floor.
