Sew, Sew...
It may seem lazy or amazing but I have never ever had any reason to sew clothes.
Maybe I'm lucky that buttons rarely if ever seem to come off or that I cannot remember a time where clothes have been torn or ripped.
But recently, two shirts did become damaged. One was torn where a button was and the hole would be become larger and the button would not be attached and the material would be missing if I wanted to put on another button. The other shirt tore probably due to the extra weight I put on whilst taking medication and that tear was likely to grow.
Eventually, I got around to buying some cotton thread and needles. Mum was ready to sew the damage for me. I don't know why but I was sitting here doing nothing...I got the needle and thread out and...
Well, it isn't the tidiest repair work you'll have ever seen and I am sure that it can be done better but I am chuffed to say that I have repaired both my shirts and it's good enough for me. I have learnt how to sew and I am sure in time I will improve(assuming something else becomes damaged)

I used to sew a lot! Butttons and the like. I was a dab hand at threading the needles too.
I like that Span...
That takes me back a bit...Victor Sylvester and all that...
I've just fastened a button on one of those shirts and I know I have done that ok...
