The walk between the main building at school and my classroom involves a driveway. In the morning, kids are getting dropped off, and I avoid walking in the driveway by squeezing through a gap in the gate and walking on the lawn.
Yesterday, a bolt on the gate caught my shorts and ripped them. Ack! Fortunately, it was an exercise day for me, and I could switch to my exercise shorts. Unfortunately, the ripped shorts are un-savable.
Dang! Dang dang dang!
Although, there is a sewing technique (I think it’s Japanese) (googled and found) that shows off a patch n a beautiful way. https://www.pinterest.com/outilespyy/stitched-boro-sashiko/ I say go for it!
