Since I was granted the status of "bachelor" seven-plus months ago, I've been dreading this day. I knew it would happen sometime. It was inevitable. Although it wasn't listed in one of Murphy's Laws directly, I know it's in there somewhere.
I've lost a button from one of my shirts, and I have no idea how to sew.
None whatsoever. I'm freakin' clueless in that department.
Well, maybe not totally clueless. I do know how to thread a needle...
I'm looking for a seamstress. If anyone knows how to replace a button from a shirt and wants to take pity on a poor, clueless stoopid guy, let me know.
It's not that big a deal, actually. It's the second button from the top on one of my shirts, and I can wear it open with a t-shirt underneath (and look damn good doing so in the process, if I may say so), so it's not that important. If you happen to be in the neighborhood and know how to sew, stop by.
Ice cream on me, afterwards. ;)

It's kinda fitting I'm walking away with my wife in this photo, since I've walked away from this blog. After almost 20 years, The Journal of Onestar is no more. I'll leave these posts here for awhile. Oh, and to my stalkers, thanks for visiting. See you around sometime...

What a line! :) LOL I might just be knocking at your door, for a free ice cream. ;) LOLOL
I know how to sew, but am too lazy to sew buttons on my clothes, I just replace them...after all, it is fun to shop!!
I'm with Lorri ... I know a really good seamstress, she is called the Polo Outlet Store LOL
LOL, Rene. A man after my own heart. I can shop until I drop, very easily. Give me Macys, The Gap Outlet, etc., so many stores, so little time. LOL
I don't care, buttons are not meant for replacing...lolol...but, clothes are.
I don't do ice cream. Substitute a good soy mocha in there and I'll start walking. :)
Duuuuuuuuude
*sigh*
Y'know, I could say so many things here.
What I WILL say is this.
You *could* go buy a new shirt.
You *could* take a sewing class (not necessary for buttons or socks, btw).
You *could* take a cruise around the world.
OR.
You could go to your nearest laundry/dry cleaner. Broken/lost/fallen off buttons are their specialty, because through the laundering, buttons get effed up/broken whatever. There is this really cool machine they have for either 2-hole or 4-hole buttons that they usually replace gratis when running shirts through, or if independently, maybe a quarter at most.
Or, if you know the trick of the button machine, it's really easy. Needle, needler, thread, and about 8 pops through each hole.
Don't understand that?
Hand me the fucking shirt, Onie. *rolls eyes*
*grin*
Brought to you by egwuauum. Sounds about right for sewing a button. *sigh*
*flicks bic for Prosey*
there ya go.
My vote is for shopping.
*sigh*
You know how to thread a needle but you don't know how to sew on a button?
*speechless*
Lorri: Sure, c'mon over. Ice cream's on me. And no...to both you and Rene...I'm not getting a new shirt. I like this one.
Priestess: For you, anything. I'll even through a shot of espresso in it for ya.
*hands Prosey the shirt with a big grin*
And Squooshie, I always had to thread the needle for My Kid. She could see to sew, but had no patience to thread the needle...
Oh my God...lol. Even I can do that. ;) I bet there's a simple online instruction booklet to sew a button. That sounds like a piece of humor right there. *grins* That is great, thanks for the laugh, even if at your expense. :P
M'friend, I got you to laugh.
That's all that matters. :)
And I don't wanna hear it, Priestess.
I think it's funny as well...so I don't mind the laughter.
You could buy the exact same shirt, you know *nods*
And Sterl, I'm sure there is such a manual, and I'm really interested in seeing the disclaimers in it *ROFL*
Here you go, instructions at your service, from ehow.com
