"
You have a remarkable talent" said Mrs. M.
It's not like her to pay me random compliments, so I waited for whatever was coming next.
"
A talent for turning your new clothes into old clothes very quickly"
OK, she did have a point. My non-sewing hobbies are mostly about mending old motorbikes and similar mucky, metal working activities.
I often can't be fussed changing clothes, or wearing overalls, so my gear does have a hard life.
"
Can't you at least buy an apron?" She asked, not unreasonably.
Buy an apron?
Seriously...?
No, it's clearly time to drag out some more of the notorious "spanner roll" canvas, and fire up the sewing machine...
