Mend and Make Do: Repairing Small Moth Holes in a Cashmere Sweater

Image
This is another cashmere sweater I love.  Of course, when I wanted to wear it... Holes!!!!! I hate sweater holes!!!! Instead of throwing out the sweater, I bought some iron on butterfly patches. I just placed them over the holes... and ironed them on. Here's the front, with the holes covered. Here's the back. The moth holes are now covered with butterfly patches. My nice cozy sweater is done.

Trip to Philadelphia, PA to Theatre of Living Arts to see RATT

Image
I am a child of the 80s. I love hard rock and metal music, and have for quite some time. I have a local radio station that I adore,  103.7 WMGM Rocks  and I had the luck to win RATT tickets from them. I have been a fan of RATT  since I first saw "Round and Round"  on MTV in 1984. So.... Fast forward to March of 2017. I called and won tickets when I answered a trivia contest through 103.7. My 1980s fangrrl was super-happy when I collected my tickets.

It's in great condition, with the straw/ raffia intact, and the whiskey brown leather straps and trim with a little bit of wear. The brass metal studs, feet and clip look great.    The wooden rods through the leather at the top of the bag ensure the shape.    Check out the bottom. It has five brass stud feet.       Here's the back. Again.... typical wear for its age. I'll end up polishing the leather.       The only bummer about it is that the flap and twist lock was missing. Note the Romain lion logo on the front flap.    The interior John Romain logo and the date of "DEC 1970" is clearly seen.     But, the price was right at $3.99. I had to get creative to make this truly functional. So... I scoured the rest of t...
