Clearly I am not responsible enough to own an alb (liturgical robe) as nice or as sentimental as the one I have. First there was the unfortunate wine incident, then a few weeks ago this:
I had finished worship at Grace and was heading to Vang. I must have been moving too fast, because I caught the sleeve on a handrail on the stairs and it tore. Fortunately, I do have some basic sewing skills, and I'm quite happy with the repair:
Just a tiny pucker, not so bad. And by the time I finish internship, my alb will be quite broken-in and full of character!

Our albs have been through the wringer... wine spills, lipstick from people, dirt from graveside....
I know a pastor with 3 churches who drives between churches in his robes and they've hung out his door as he drives..... My best advice is get a washable easy alb!

Now every time you see your tiny stitches on your sleeve, you can think back on internship. Scars build character ;)
