Tips On Doing Household Mending Without Feeling Like A Sissy

1. Don’t wear a thimble. No pain, no gain.
2. Tie threads with knots that would make Jack Aubrey proud.
3. Don’t tell anyone or allude to the fact that you’re doing mending. Dammit, you’re an American! Pretend you buy another Chinese-made article of clothing like everyone else.

Sissy.
