Sexy Friday – 20240628

TGIF! Since nothing of import happened this week, let’s focus on the bounty of sports tonight. Copa America! NHL Draft! Local Baseball! That may not seem like enough to warrant a “bounty” label, but inflation has been a bit crazy lately.

Survival – Personal Edition

We’ve all been there. You find yourself having to attend an event that requires pants or formal clothing. Problem is, you haven’t worn that stuff for a while. So you pull it out, dust it off, get it dry cleaned, they try it on. Uh oh! That’s a bit snug! Stupid dry cleaner must have shrunk it. And not you have a ripped seam. Disaster! But, I’m here to show you how to fix that in a jiffy!

• Remove the piece of clothing that ripped. We’ll need full access to the piece of clothing.
• Turn that piece of clothing inside out. We’re going to be working on the seam from the inside.
• There will be a section of fabric behind the seam. Now carefully pull the split seam back together and line them up correctly.
• Now connect the two sides with a safety pin. You’ll want to pin the sides as close to the seam as possible, but not too close to be visible from the outside.
• Once secured, check the repair from the outside. If the safety pin is not visible, you were successful. If it is visible, start over and be better.
• Not all of us have safety pins available. You can also use staples, electrical tape, or even duct tape. If you’re really desperate and don’t care about the piece of clothing, quick glue can also be used. Again, these are applied on the inside of the seam so no one sees them.

Disaster averted and money saved! Congrats! But you will want to avoid stressing that seam again. The repair might not hold or worse you’ll rip a different seam.
