Upgrade so-so sewing skills
Challenge Yourself for: 30 days
If a button is beyond you and your wardrobe’s the worse for it, get yourself a needle, thread, and thimble and go at it; you may surprise yourself. Although many of us never graduate beyond reattaching buttons, challenging yourself to refurbish clothing will make you feel terrific.
(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day time frame.)

I got back into sewing and made a couple of quilts for Christmas.
being able to fix something as simple as a button really will make you feel better. Even my husband can fix a button you can too!
I actually went on YouTube and found a video on how to sew on a button – if I can do it, anyone can :) Here it is: http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DhrSs_DiJ-ZA
There’s always room for improvement! I love making my own stuff, but I could use a refresher on how to put in a zipper :)
I am attempting to make my son’s halloween costume this year!
