Cheryl,
I agree. A lot of folks are gonna be doing things the way grandma did.

Cheryl, I don't understand things like this. We have alway done things for ourselves. Saved tons of money doing it over the years. She may have to learn the hard way.. Sad, but true. Sounds kinda sill that you can't even sew on a button..

What is sad is that these little things cause "big trama" in her life....so much so she calls me to moan about them. I support her 100% because she is my niece but I have ALWAYS told her the cost of these little "jobs" add up and I am now thinking she will have to "relearn" many of these skills. It is sad to me as this girl may not be any great sewer but she does have basic sewing skills which could save her some of her hard earned paycheque which she will no doubt pay for someone else to do the job. Hopefully the sewer who does the job will need the cash more than her. Budster, known as "my cheap aunt"
