Lol that was my project last weekend with all my undies! They're all still pretty good, but just some holes where the fabric meets the elastic, so I got out the sewing machine and knocked them out all at once. (Though I spotted one I missed yesterday of course! ๐)
The good thing about patching socks and undies is nobody sees them, so they don't have to look good!
I take that opportunity to do a little kintsugi in them and use thread that really stands out or patch with a silly fabric. It feels fun to do that, plus when I see it pulling then out of the dresser it reminds me how much money I saved! ๐
What if you are in an accident?
Nurses need some fun in their lives too. They see some shit! My GF is a rad tech and does OR and trauma, and patchy drawers are hardly the craziest thing that'd roll in.
If I'm in there for something serious enough for them to see my undies, they're just gonna cut them off anyway, so they may as well cut off a beat pair. ๐
Otherwise, it can be a conversation starter!
