Arrrrghhh. The cuteness, it burns!
Seriously, I'm making these little moaning noises to the computer monitor. God, those beagles are insanely cute.
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

You find my sartorial incompetence adorable?

Oh.
I think it's cute, P-C.
I love that there's a K-Ville disc on the floor behind the second beagle closeup.
But the knots! And the order! And the tying! And the poking!
The real non-intuitive trick is to stick a straight pin under your threads (on top of the button) while sewing so that you leave enough wiggle room to use the button.

I wrap around between the button and the fabric so there's some distance there. Not exactly wiggly, but room.

Yep, that's what I do.
Y'know, I should look to see if there's a class on clothing alteration and tailoring that I can take. Because I do okay, but I bet there are a bunch of cool techniques I don't know.

ita and Jilli, I do the pin thing to maintain distance, then I do the wrap to create a snug shank, ,because I think the butto stays on longer. Then, if I'm super energetic, I dab a little of clear nailpolish on the thread to keep it there longer.
That's, of course, for no shank buttons. For shank buttons, I still do the wrap.
I'm watching comedy central and a comedian just said:
If you work with glitter, be prepared to have it on you forever. Because glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.
And I laughed and laughed and came running to the craft thread.
it's true. I haven't bought glitter in eight years but I still have a flare-up from time to time.
