I agree with Callistemon21; sewing up knitting projects. I wish I could hand it over to someone else.

I'm not a sewer, I've just done mending. Getting through some heavy work jeans or jackets can be a pain (literally).

Oh yes Sewing up knitting.

I don't have a machine so have to hem by hand and I don't enjoy it. I don't really like sewing at all but enjoy embroidery.

New zip...especially jeans?

Sewing up knitting.

At least I completed a task last evening that I had delayed doing.

For me it's hemming, not by hand (I avoid that like the plague) but on the sewing machine. I love putting together a pattern and learning new techniques and skills. But at the end of all that work, hemming is so boring and I just want to get it over with and have the finished garment. What about you?
