When was the last time your sewed a button on a shirt?
Let’s talk about essential life skills.
I had a date to meet a friend recently and she was a bit delayed.

The cause of the holdup had been an unexpected diversion to the dry cleaner to drop off a shirt.
Was it a tricky button?
Was the shirt a delicate or intricate material?
Negative on both counts.
My sweet friend simply had never learned how to sew a button back onto a shirt.
Keeping tradition does sometimes require special equipment.
And lately, there has been a movement among the millennial generation to makesewing a part of their lives.
That would certainly be a gloomy outlook.
And, if you need a little technique help, don’t be afraid to get technology involved.
YouTube is a master for all the little life skills I never knew I needed.
I certainly do not want a generation of non-button-sewers on my conscience, do you?
