I desperately need to buy some new pants, but we all know how much I love shopping. This morning I put on a pair of ancient pants and the button was starting to go. I thought that if I could make it to naptime, I could quickly stitch it back on after the kids were asleep.
Sure enough, they all conked out quickly, I got some work done, then opened my sewing kit to find the darkest thread I had – purple. Keeping my pants on (I’m not going to lose my job, people), I went over to the window so I could see and discovered… I had stitched that button once before. With purple thread.
I really need some new pants.
Brad says
Ha! As you know, I just bought some new pants. But not because they were wearing out… somehow my old pants have all shrunk around the waist. I think it may be because my washing machine is defective or something.
Lloyd says
Mine too. They don’t make ’em like they used to.
Deborah says
Way to be consistent!
Lauren's dad says
Or, buy a selection of dark thread, other than purple.
Peggy says
I like the purple….Go Ravens!!
Giant safety pins work too…..or so I’ve heard.
