A stitch in time !

Any one who knows me will vouch for the fact that I am so rarely seen with a needle & thread that it is a sight to remember ! I have this shirt & the button has been off for about 6 months now & it's just a little bit too high that you can't hide it by a waist band. Today I have nothing better to do & I want to take it on holiday with me & couldn't for shame pack it with a button off so here goes !!
I might add that I haven't actually sewn it on yet !!! If I am distracted in the next ten minutes it is doomed again !!

I'm betting that you are up to the task, Pat. :) Love your little button box.

nice...i don't sew but i bet it can be very good for the mind....i do yoga instead... :)

[Rick Schies]

Well do pay attention once you begin. Those needle pricks can be nasty :) Use a thimble

[Janet]

This is such a clever photo - I love your button box too :)

[karenann]

What a great idea for a picture! So colorful and real! I am so much like you. Sewing on a button takes me FOREVER! Nice pic!!

@peggysirk @robinwarner @digitalrn @jquinn @karenann

I have done it !!!

For those interested the button box is by Cath Kidston at wwwCathkidston.co.uk.

[Pat Knowles]

I have just looked at the website & they don't do my tin any more by the looks of it but they have bigger & dearer ones !!!

[Pat Knowles]

@karenann Thanks Karen I hate sewing & would rather buy new !!!!

[stephanie dp]

haha! please let us know the ending to this saga. did the button make it back on. . . or didn't it? I love suspense!

[Sarah Bremner]

This is so pretty it's definitely worth fixing. I'd pop in and do it for you if I was closer. I love sewing!

[Jennifer Jones]

This made me smile! You'll have added pleasure wearing it now that you can admire your own handiwork!

[Diana Moss]

I hope that button made it ?? lol

[Pat Knowles]

[lesley allen]

I like the way everything you need for the task matches....including your glasses case. nice composition.

[Kate D.]

[Phil Howcroft]

the image has a nice feeling to it Pat...the pinks and reds around the frame all blend in well. great detail too

Hurrah - well done Pat! NIce button box but I can tell you that Cath Kidson pins are rubbish - nice tin but I didn't realise you could get 'bad' pins till I tried hers!
