Can you sew on a button, mend a seam, patch a tear?

barehugs @barehugs (8973) • Canada 28 Aug 07

What do you do when a seam comes apart on your favourite blouse? Some people will throw it out and buy a new one. I like my clothes too much, to dispose of them because they need a few stitches. I get out my sewing machine and...
