Sew What

This afternoon, while out doing errands with my wife, I noticed a hole in my glove.  Not a big deal, they cost me a whole $1.50 at Dollarama a couple of years ago.  I can either toss them and buy an new pair or ask my wife to sew up the hole for me.  The option that I don't have is sewing it myself.

Sewing is not a skill that I have mastered.  I never had the patience or the dexterity to be very good. In moments of sheer desperation, I can use a needle and thread, just do not expect the stitches to be neat.  But they will do the job.

My wife on the other hand is a quilter and a sewer.  Her stitches are almost surgically neat.  If I decide to ask her to save my glove, you will have to look very closely to find her stitch work.
