Re: Elbow pads

Hey, I do love your creativity! And I may try the tights thing. I managed to sew rectangles of an old piece of sheepskin I had onto the insides of the sleeves of the boy's tshirt and so far, it's working.

Re: Elbow pads

If I were just a wee bit more adept with a needle and thread or owned a sewing machine, I could put a seam in most any size elbow pads and make it work -- alas, no machine and my sewing abilities are mostly limited to replacing a button. :( And that's on a good day. I find a lot of places selling kn...
