Do one thing a day that scares you
-Eleanor Roosevelt-
So i decided to start a series "Uncomfortably Scary good things" This is hopefully something that can motivate me to push myself to do the things that I'm reluctant in doing and gather for myself experiences in life that my 80 year old me would be proud of.
We are all so accustomed to doing the things we're comfortable in doing so here's to doing scary good things! The target will be to do 100 uncomfortable things.
Here goes nothing...
No regrets...
Sewing
Interesting how the number one thing on this list is sewing isn't it!? It doesn't scare me. But it's something that's outside my comfort zone. I have a little bit of perfectionism in me. So I wouldn't want to do it because I know I'd ruin it, and I don't like ruined stuff.
But then again, my sense of trying to fix the problem is far more overwhelming that I decided to take up the challenge.
Oh and I was about to throw away my old pair of jeans but why throw it away when you can recycle right? So there's a lot of motivation there!
Special shoutout to 
I have big holes in my pants. Don't ask me how I got em, I don't know what kind of sharp item I have inside my pants. (or maybe I do ;) )
They are not supposed to rip while you wear them, but then again, these pants have been with me for more than 10 years so I guess that explains it. But wait... if it's more than 10 years already, just buy a pair and throw it away right!?
Well It's BECAUSE I've had it for so long, a bit of emotional attachment ensues.
It's no stroll in the park. Especially when you have big hands working on small holes! I could almost swear that I spent half an hour weaving the thread into the eye of the needle.
I did a pretty simple in and out and weaving around the pants. I used old jeans material to basically just patch up the hole.
New found respect for my clothes. I can now say that I truly appreciate a good weave. Good tailors and good cut on a good pair of clothes. After a long few hours here's the results!
Note to self
ALWAYS
I REPEAT
ALWAYS use matching colored threads, or else you will end up a joke of a sewing product like the one I just did. I just created very visible dotted lines on my left thigh. Good job Max. Great! I'd still wear it though hahah! I won't go out like this, I'll just use this as a work jeans.
I was smarter after cause I used white threads for the other side. I didn't want to redo the one with the black dotted lines so I just left it there, It could be new fashion right...
Not the prettiest of handiwork but pretty proud of myself after I was done. I got a pretty good sense of achievement out of this.
