Bosom Buddies

Not very much has been done at Cornerstones this week. 

Bob's cough has kept us both awake at night, and he has been pretty poorly. He's been sleeping in the daytime, and I have felt very dozy too. He was able to get an appointment with the GP, who has prescribed strong antibiotics. They can can cause photo-sensitivity, so he is supposed to keep out of the sun for the next 5 days [even if it is cloudy]
He is calling them his Vampire Pills!
I did mend my neighbour's bra. I carefully cut the straps on either side of the chewed section. Then I practised machining on the spoilt part to enable me to plan my repair. 

I butted the two edges together and then tacked a strip of bias binding behind.
I zigzaged across the join, then machined around the edge of the repair section, and did a strengthening diagonal cross in running stitch.
Fortunately there was enough spare elastic in the 'adjustable' strap at the back. Garment duly restored

This is not a good picture, the colour of the bra was a very pretty pale green. The stitching looks white, but actually it was a fairly good match and almost invisible from a distance. Not that anyone is likely to see her underwear under normal circumstances.
When I took it round, she invited me in for a brief chat - I said Bob was poorly, and she's going to make him a cake to speed his recovery! He hasn't been able to keep anything down [except water] since Sunday. I think just the thought of spongecake is good medicine!
