My mother and my sister are able to create wonders with a needle and thread.
I've been known to duct tape the hem on a pair of pants. Lucky for me, I'm tall enough that most pants are already short and don't need hemming.

A staple here. A staple there. I had me a set of curtains to add charm and reduce glare.

That's it. Easy-peasy!!
