I'm not Mr. Mom but I'm as close as I can get

So my hem in my pants fell out last week. I haven't been looking forward to trying to repair my pants by hand. Then I asked Barb if they had a sewing machine. She said yes and Susi used it a couple days ago putting some finishing touches on Andy's mariachi outfit for Independence Day. Perfect timing. Because if I screw my pants up at least I knew Susi could fix what ever mistake I made.

So the first battle I face in sewing my pants is I had no real idea what I was supposed to do. So I use google, it was very helpful. Because I don't know if I would have figured it out to turn my pants inside out.

Battle number two was not know how to thread the machine. I feel like that is one of the hardest parts so I called in the reinforcements. Thank you Susi.

Battle number three was trying to get an even hemi line because I didn't have all the same pins, It was tough because I was using safety pin, normal pins, and super super tiny nails. Only in Mexico.

Battle number four was trying to build up enough courage to actually touch the peddle to make it go. I got that thing going so fast I almost wet my self. Then I got in a groove until Susi walked in and said Scott "I think you made a mistake." Luckly I had only gone about 3 inches into my groove. Because I sewed my pants together(2 inches max. I promise). I was also using the wrong stitching partern. I already knew to start and back up for a strong stitch. THANK YOU GOOGLE.

Battle number 5 was doing steps 1-10 over again. The machine may have won the battle but I won the war because I don't have a needle piercing in my finger and I have some really nice hemed pants. Check them out for yourself.
