I want to learn how to do these techniques! I have a very old jean jacket with a frayed collar. Have loved this jacket for almost 40 years, and want to love it even longer!

I never learned how to sew, but I used to work at a vet clinic so I know how to suture. Every time I attempt to fix a tear in something, it ends up looking more like a surgical repair.

Haha, nice and much better than the other way around! 😅
