I have a pair of black knit jersey pants. They were given to be by a co-worker amongst a bunch of other items she was parting with as she lost weight. Of all the items she gave me, these pants have proven to be the most useful.
Unfortunately, there was a small hole in the pants. Fortunately, the hole was in an area where no one was likely to see it unless I sat cross legged, or in other unladylike positions. 
I wore them a lot. The hole grew and grew. Finally a couple months ago it was getting big enough to where I wondered if it might be noticeable soon. So, I bought a small sewing kit for $1.
I mentioned it to my mom, and she told me to just throw them out.
I don't think she realized how difficult it is for me to find pants that *work* for me - plus, I really just like these pants.
So, like I mentioned yesterday, I can sometimes, err..., procrastinate. Remember the sewing kit I bought two MONTHS ago?
I opened it today - this morning. I sewed up the hole - which luckily was along the seam line. I turned the pants inside out first -- and it turned out beautifully. 
So now I can sit in unladylike positions with these pants on and not worry about giving views of things that are not fit for public viewing.
I was pretty proud of myself - I hadn't ever mended something before, and the last sewing class I had was in 1990.

But grandma darned socks too! I wonder if I could sell her darning egg on ebay; she probably come back to haunt me if I did.
