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.
