Well done! I believe that the basic domestic arts whould be able to be
performed by any adult who doesn't have a disability. and turning up a hem
is one of those basics :-))

I could do both passably, though neither particularly well. I've
never milked a cow but I understand the process well enough. I did a
pretty minimal job on the hemming. The trousers weren't in perfect
condition anyway, and I can't see wearing them many more times. The
jacket is fine as long as I don't gain any weight, and could be worn
with mismatched pants, which isn't true of the only other one I own,
which is just for waist-up photos.

Not bad. I was taught how to properly hem, and I even have a machine
that will hem, but I still use Stitch Witchery to iron up pants hems.

Fascinating stuff. I think this is a reality soap in the making. "Life
of Bryan" maybe?
