My darling bought himself some cheap gloves for keeping his hands warm on the chilly ride to and from work. And being cheap gloves, they started to come apart. I thought I could darn them up but by the time I got to them, they’d unravelled quite badly.
Now I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to fixing the finger tip of a glove which has a big hole in it. So I just made it up as I went along. I folded a small piece of calico in half and stuck it in the glove. The I did some kind of random stitch around the hole, ensuring I tied down all the ravely bits. Then I turned it inside out and did the same thing around the edge of the calico. And I had a bit of thread left, so I added a bit of sweetness.
This is an ultimate hack job, but one I think turned out really well!

In French we say about someone really nice and generous : “his heart is on his hand”, do you say that, too ? Well here, it is on the finger… ;o)

I don’t think we have a saying like that, but reckon we should!
