Sten always sews (yes sews) new pants. He thinks the Carharrts are too wide, so he takes them in a bit on the legs. I checked out his handiwork and noticed that apparently he had used the previously set "basting" stitch on the machine. A basting stitch is temporary and rips out real easily - a guarantee that he would be wearing a long "skirt" by the end of the day. I attempted to rectify his mistake at 5 this morning, but found that my 40+ eyes were not cooperating with the needle threading endeavor too well. I blindly completed the task, but may have to tackle the project at a more "sane" time of day.
