40. Sew a Button onto Clothing – It sure is cheaper than buying a new shirt

Please tell me there aren't people who need to be told this. Do people really discard shirts because of a lost button??!!???

Or throw away a part of pants because they don’t want to sew up a hole or their sewing machine doesn’t work right? I did sew up a hole in a pair of pants recently because my sewing machine is not working right. We have better know how to do these things if we don’t have the machine or electricity to do them!

Sure do. I haven't bought a retail shirt in 10 years. Get all mine at the Salvation Army. $75 to $100 shirts for $2.50 to $5. Dang near new and a good percentage are missing a button. Often still have the replacement buttons down at the hem still attached.
