Well it didn't happen

I never got those pants of Ben's patched before lunchtime. Originally I thought I didn't have enough fabric to patch them (the uniform shop lady actually gave me the exact matching material to patch them with). But after talking to my Mum (the sewing expert in our family), we decided to modify my plan which means I have enough material, but need to make a trip to Spotlight to get some fusing material (stuff that glues 2 pieces of fabric together). So it will have to wait until next week now.
