Learning to DIY

Lately, it seems as if I’ve embarked on a DIY mission.

Hubby needed the pockets extended in the new work pants he’d bought for his Team Rubicon activities. Three YouTube videos and two hours later – all four pair of pants were sporting longer pockets so his keys, wallet and cell phone would stay secure while he worked.

My new needle plate arrived and I have a stick of JB Weld waiting on me to fashion a DIY straight stitch needle plate since Baby Lock doesn’t offer one for the Jubilant. Saw this on YouTube, as well. It’s certainly worth a try.

After my inability to secure a pedicure appointment this week, let’s add nail technician to my resume. It’s crazy how many people want nail services these days. I got pretty good at doing my own manicures during COVID and found it easier/cheaper/faster to continue to DIY once things reopened. Pedicures are a different story. They are more difficult for me to do, but it’ll be less aggravating if I DIY. Guess I’ll be working on my pedicure game over the next several weeks. I’ll be heading to my quilt retreat tomorrow sans polish on my piggies, but at least my feet look presentable after working on them this afternoon.
