it looks great :)
I have the same perspective as you. unfortunately not quite handy enough yet for big work like this but I'm big on clothes mending. It is such a waste to throw out an otherwise good pair of jeans just because it has a hole.

Got to start somewhere. That’s a skill I do not have but my wife just bought a sewing machine so I’ll have a chance to figure it out.
that's awesome!
lots of useful sewing can be done by hand too. I find most mending stuff is more easily done by hand.
Here’s a great podcast on Maintenance. Really. It’s great.
