When it comes to sharing useful information, I have a personal “non-compete” clause with respect to other individuals or companies who solve the problem brilliantly. Instead of being redundant, I would simply rather applaud the good work of others and carry the message, much like I did with “How To Tie a Bow Tie” by The Hill Side.
In this case, Wayne Edelman, proprietor of Meurice Garment Care here in New York City, demonstrates how to sew a button on a shirt, coat or jacket. This is a little skill that can save money, time and headaches, and it’s a great asset to the bag of tricks that make us more self-sufficient. I’ve been repairing my own buttons since seventh grade, and I was relieved to get confirmation from a pro that I was taught correctly all those years ago.
Don’t be a mama’s boy. Fix your own buttons. As Wayne says: it’s easy.
