Yes, the only thread I own is crap thread. It was a gift, and I’m very grateful I have it. But it’s just so sad. I mean, look!
I also have hand-sewing needles, which are probably of the same quality as the thread. Again, I’m glad I have any needles at all, but I look forward to the day I upgrade these two things.
I recently got my bike fixed up nice and pretty. It’s an old Schwinn, probably from the 70′s. I’m in looove with this thing. When I first got it it looked like everything was original. Needless to say it needed some replacements. I took it in to a local bike shop and they worked some magic. Seriously, I am in awe of how great it looks and feels compared to when I first got it last fall. It’s so shiny!
So I’ve been riding it around, and today I rode it to the grocery store for the first time. This was kind of a big deal because I wasn’t sure how I would get my groceries home. Then I decided to patch up an old Jansport I took from my mom’s storage. It had a gnarly hole in the bottom, so I slapped some scraps together, stitched that hole up with my shit-thread, and rode to the store!
It held up nicely as far as I can tell. Too bad you can’t really see that cute camper fabric.
oh so i totally know this place where you can get really good thread. like german thread even, so you know it’s totally not shit and will be all on time and stuff. and there’s tons of it. and i’m pretty sure you have a key to this place.
