Congratulations, Splitimage! I am an accomplished seamstress (used to make my own lined jackets and such) but anymore, mending a pair of pants is a major hurdle after being out of practice for any length of time. Doing one pair and I'm ready to call it quits. But you did FOUR! Amazing! You should be very proud of yourself, that is no easy task. And doesn't it make you angry sometimes that you can go into a store and pay a decent price for something nowdays and before you've worn them once, you have some seam somewhere to mend? Drives me crazy! Especially the buttons. They don't tie off the buttons. Inevitably, you lose one.

I, for one, am very impressed with your perseverance in getting all four pair done. Well done.
