I spent half the weekend (which is equal to one day!) convincing my husband that I needed a new machine – the coverstitch machine, which should arrive today.
I’ve been looking at patterns and knit fabric online. Yes, I’ve ordered patterns and fabric but the machine is going to be here and I have no fabric to use. Here’s last night’s discussion with Vince:
Me: You don’t mind if I cut up some of your old shirts and use to play with the machine, do you?
Vince: Looking over his glasses at me like I had just said something stupid . . Can’t you go buy fabric? I’ll pay for it. (Hey dude . . I have a credit card. I don’t need you to pay for it!) 🙂
Me: I don’t want to leave home. I just want to use your shirts that you don’t wear.
Vince: No! I’m going to wear those some day.
Me: OHH! I found some really nice men’s T-shirt patterns. Some are like Henley type shirts!
Vince: Looking at me and dead serious . . Would it cost more than $5 to make them?
Me: Yes!
Vince: Then . . no! I only pay $5 for my shirts.
That would be funny except he’s totally serious!
Joyce says
Where does he find $5 shirts? Inquiring minds want to know…
JudyL says
I have no idea. That man can find a bargain anywhere. $5 are the expensive ones . . most of the time he pays less.

Silly woman! Why did you ask!! You just go to the bottom of the pile and pull out a couple. They are always going to wear them all! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I bet if you make him a new shirt, that will be what he wears the most.
Dottie says
LOL, LOL – thanks for the morning funny!!
Vicky McGee says
You could probably steal one of those old green teeshirts he used to wear in MO and he wouldn’t even notice! 🙂
Caro says
try Califabrics – I have ordered from them and loved the quality for the price.
Cheryl says
Sounds exactly like my DH. BTW, my DH gets his $5 shirts @ Kohl’s.
