Reduced to rags

igenlodeWell, I could have saved myself the trouble of mending those pyjamas; they ripped decisively across the shoulder in the apparently sound cloth. Not sure if it's worth hanging on to the trousers on the grounds that normally it's the trousers that wear out first... probably not.
It's nice soft cotton for cleaning and polishing, though. I've now ripped off the button bands, seams, etc to reduce it to rag -- I'm favourably impressed that the sleeve didn't tear at the point where I'd mended it, but ripped preferentially across the undamaged cloth further down. Evidently I managed to make a repair stronger than the hole!
