so i basically got volunteered to patch up an old blanket for one of my residents at work. i would have done it regardless, but the aide who got the ball rolling made it sound like there were just small seam tears. spoilers: that was not the case. >:|
every side busted out almost completely, and wearing thin with holes where it wasn't just falling apart
hour and a half later 
hell yeah
im not exactly a master seamstress, but it looks so much better
i doubt this particular resident will notice, but i know her son will be grateful, at least
wow, talk about an improvement, that looks great!
thank you!
though now i know not to trust people who don't sew to give accurate accounts of damage before agreeing to do a good deed.
the fabric's so old and thin and gets washed so often that deterioration is unavoidable, but this should give it some more time
ty! <3
here's hoping it makes it through a wash or two before it starts unraveling again
problem is that she sleeps with it in her bed, where things are most likely to get soiled
and then need to be washed
yeah, eventually the whole thing's gonna wear out. god only knows how old it is, but every other part of it seems to be holding together well. its just the outside edge thats wearing out
^^
here's hoping
