What an enjoyable activity. It can't be rushed and forces the sewer to go slow and mindfully lest a finger (or worse) get poked.





Of course I put it off so long that one of my shirts was missing not one, not two, but three buttons. I guess some people would throw out the shirt and buy a new one, but not me.





Finally, with Linda's help, I got down to business. While sewing on the three buttons, I noticed most of the others were loose. That happens when you keep clothes as long as we do.





I fixed the three buttons, then reinforced the others. The shirt I fixed will wear out completely before it needs button love again.





What a simple, functionally useful, and meditative activity. You can't say that about many pursuits these days.





Sewing buttons - give it a whirl. We all know you have at least one item of clothing that could use a bit of button love right now.





Don't you?
