The right cargo pocket of my favorite camo pants tore recently. (I had a waterbottle in my pocket and stepped out of a trailer, which was just too much stress I guess.) The pocket ripped away from the pants, leaving a hole, and the button also tore straight through the buttonhole.
I fixed the buttonhole by hand. I started by tacking a few stitches across the rip to hold it together. I unpicked this horrible-awful-itchy-bad label from another pair of pants. It got folded in half lengthwise and used like hem binding to patch and support the ripped part.
Next was the hole in the pants. That was a machine-stitching job that I did today. Today I also had a migraine. Migraine brain should not have been allowed to operate machinery, but the pants have been on my floor for a week and I couldn't take it anymore.
I put a piece of brown canvas behind the rip and used my machine's mending stitch to go back and forth over and over the rip. It holds up fine. I trimmed back the canvas. We'll see if it stays put like denim patches do or if it disintegrates.
Then all I had to do was machine-sew the pocket back in place. Voila! Usable pants!

Telling you about my worst experience with a tarotist!!!! [FROM INSTAGRAM]
Guys if I'm completely real with you, I am excited to tell you about this because I like gossip and I want to let it out of my system. This was a horrible experience and I hope more tarot readers, read this one.
So I think It was in April 2022 (?) Something like that. I was participating in a reading give away with some account that for me was completely trustworthy and everything. I manifested so hard and it was so for me, that I won the first place of this giveaway.
So, yes, the day of the reading arrives. I was feeling so excited, because my questions were very interesting and I was needing very much to know about these topics. I was at the lowest point of my life, I need you to know this. In that time, I was so in touch with witchcraft and spirituality, and I was not a beginner anymore (or that was what I was thinking), I knew some stuff about this, so my first question was: "I am seeing a lot of signs that a God is reaching out, who is it?" Guys I was so depressed that I needed a divine support/supporter.
The tarot reader does what they do and they say: "there are two gods that are reaching out to you. They are Gods of death, one of them is a Goddess and a God". They never told me who was it, neither the God or the Goddess.
They go right to the next question and I ask: I am manifesting a guy, I would love to be with him, he is the one, he is my type, completely. Will this guy come to me at the end of the day, like some day when I'm ready? They said: Okay so this question have something to do with the previous question... I'm like: What the heck? They said this time: "let's talk about the offerings of these Gods, the God is offering you this guy, like just as you want it, with all the qualities, the virtues, the traits you want him, out of the mold, just made as you desire". At this point, I'm completely flabbergasted, this exceeds my expectations. "The Goddess, on the other hand, offers you knowledge, a lot of knowledge, nothing about this guy", It didn't surprise me, of course.
They say this time: "if you choose the God, he's going to give him to you, if you become her practitioner and you make offerings to him, he will give you this boy as I told you, but there is a situation here. A relative which you consider close to you, is gonna die soon in a tragic car crash, this is not because of you, this is her destiny, her time is over". They proceed to describe her and I already knew who was it, my anything who was too young TO FREAKING DIE was the person described. Can you imagine the weight this put on my shoulders, all the anxiety, the sadness? I was already low low but this? Destroyed me. I wanted to puke so hard. The tarotist continued and said: "You will meet him (my manifestation guy) in the trip to this situation with your relative" and adds details and blah blah. "If you choose the Goddess, the Goddess will give your relative a paceful death, she will die while sleeping, and the guy will appear eventually in this trip but maybe not as you wanted that much detailed, he's going to reach you anyways" I was SHOCKED, SHOOOOOCKED, PARALIZED, SCREAMING, AND PUKING INTERNALLY.
So, about half an hour later, we are done and I cannot even breath well, I didn't sleep not even a minute that night, I made my mom cry because I was too sad that it was so evident, I wanted to k word myself, literally.
Okay, so let's talk about the aftertime shall we? I chose one of them, I made them an altar, everything, my relative never died (she will, but maybe not soon) the guy never showed up and the one of the Gods never did neither. Not even in my dreams, in my room, in other part of my house, NEVER. All the anxiety I lived through was for nothing, the pressure, everything. This experience made me stay away for a year and a few months completely from spirituality and witchcraft, I couldn't hear any of that or hear anything related to deities, for sure it was a trauma. Did I do something wrong? And that's why he/she was never shown to me? Maybe but my relative's situationship? I do not concede that, nor do I forgive what was told to me.
I was afraid to judge the tarot reader because they told me that they worked with Hecate, I was scared to even think about them in a bad way, but I reflected and I think that the deities know very well that I have a lot of respect for them and I am only a human, I don't know what happened that day, but it was horrible and maybe it was part of what I harvested or something I had to learn.
Tarotists, be careful with how you say something to someone, I know that we are responsible for what we ask you and what we want to know, but still. Thank you for reading.
