That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.

Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

    Lol that was my project last weekend with all my undies! They’re all still pretty good, but just some holes where the fabric meets the elastic, so I got out the sewing machine and knocked them out all at once. (Though I spotted one I missed yesterday of course! 😔)

    The good thing about patching socks and undies is nobody sees them, so they don’t have to look good!

    I take that opportunity to do a little kintsugi in them and use thread that really stands out or patch with a silly fabric. It feels fun to do that, plus when I see it pulling then it is the dresser it reminds me how much money I saved! 😁
