My sewing machine is old and weary. It's four-step buttonhole is now more of a 27-step process, and every buttonhole is an adventure (not always a good thing). When I see the word 'button' on a pattern, I reach for the press-on snaps...
Sometimes it works out serendipitously and the snaps get lots of compliments.

But, sometimes I pine for real buttons...
(wouldn't they have been nice here?) |
(and here?) |
(and maybe here?) |
A new machine is on its way...
(but shhh - I haven't told the old one yet)
It just like having another baby....the love stretches.....old machines are great back ups!
