Maybe better if I lose 10 lb (I gain and lose easily...).<br /> The others are getting fixed, plus this dress that I want to shorten a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163282 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 17:49:43 +0000 Jane 2163282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started wearing wooden tights this winter, and they are great, but I do wear holes in the toes, So I am committed to darning them. May be a job for later today.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163259 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 16:36:40 +0000 cindysmith 2163259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of boots that desperately need to be repaired. I'm joining you and making it a goal to follow through </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163228 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 15:32:14 +0000 Angie 2163228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! I like the sound of this. I have a few alterations to do too, but nothing urgent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163126 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 23:38:52 +0000 SarahD8 2163126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great plan, suntiger! I have some mending and alterations I need to attend to as well. I gathered all such items in one spot a couple of months ago and started out strong but then lost steam. Of course now a couple of additional garments have developed the need for a stitch or two. It's the Red Queen Effect, but for clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163108 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 21:14:23 +0000 Jules 2163108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like there's an untapped market for women's cycling gear!<br />I have some leggings that need a "fix it" after I tore a hole in the butt doing a wall sit on our backyard fence early in the pandemic when I was still on an initial fitness kick. My darling daughter told me to squat lower. Thanks kid.&nbsp;<br />I have to admit it's not my strong point, even the small mending things I can do myself like buttons tend to pile up. Something to work on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163105 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 20:33:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the inspiration. I eventually want to get a simple sewing machine, but for now the biggest investment I need to make to get going on needed repairs is a thimble. I can’t tell you how many things have had buttons pop off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163096 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 19:55:34 +0000 Suz 2163096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cycling clothes drive me nuts, too, and I have relatively narrow hips! (Still an hourglass but not a curvy one).&nbsp; Cycling has a bro reputation as a sport and the designers need to get over it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163092 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 19:28:18 +0000 Sal 2163092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also interested in the cycling jersey repair - what a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163069 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 17:57:53 +0000 Anonymous 2163069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The house repairs need to happen here too! I am fairly handy, but have been known to need contractors after I repair things :)<br /> Glad to know the cycling jersey issue isn't just me. I looked up curvy cycling jerseys, but the results were plus size- not helpful :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163059 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 17:40:03 +0000 rachylou 2163059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a clever alteration for the jerseys(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163051 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 16:59:01 +0000 LaPed 2163051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I hope your repairs work out! I'd be curious to know if the cycling jerseys are a success; I have the same problem with a lot of performance tops being cut too straight through the hips. So annoying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2163018 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 14:46:01 +0000 Helena 2163018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great goal - I have a similar one for the house - any little outstanding repairs to be completed this year! Thank God for YouTube as I am not handy at all haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2162990 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 13:48:56 +0000 Janet 2162990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good policy!</p> <p>Cycling jerseys drive me nuts that way — most are cut too straight, even though they’re supposed to be women’s cuts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2162985 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 13:24:45 +0000 Ledonna N. 2162985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is awesome that you can make those types of repairs. Hope to see the outcome soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goal-2-for-2021-fix-it#post-2162982 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 12:45:38 +0000 Anonymous 2162982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules post reminded me to post another goal for 2021- fix it. My goal is to repair/alter these 4 pieces, plus my sewing machine, before buying anything new (aside from the things that are on the way to me). </p> <p>Black PC dress- Angelo chewed a hole in it. Hopefully there's still enough length above the hole.<br /> Cycling jerseys-not made for my shape. I want to add trianges of fabric at the hem to accommodate my hips.<br /> Athleta leggings- have a part of the seam that's fraying.<br /> All will go to a proper tailor, since my sewing skills are minimal- even when my sewing machine does work right. </p>
