@wovenmatter Thanks! It was my second mending of pants. I did one weeks ago, so full of confidence I wanted to try a well loved tshirt that is falling to shreds. I figured I needed some stretchy fabric and thought "hey, don't I have an old pair of broken pants that i kept for that occasion?". I found it in the old fabric pile and realised that yes, it was broken and old, but also totally fixable...
