My sister's idea of sewing a button back on is using a staple and bending it through the holes on the button.
And then she waits for our Mom to visit and asks her to sew it back on the right way. I kid you not...those were her exact words.
I need some ideas for books for Miss Nat who is around 9 years old. Something easy to read and learn from.
This is so funny..My sister can design a house, add air conditioning duct work to a high rise. But can't thread a needle.
We laugh about this all the time.
Some possibilities.
4-H and take sewing and someone surely would be willing to help Nat learn.
Look up the Home Ec (or whatever those classes are now called) teacher in the local middle school or high school. If he/she can't tutor, they may know someone who can.
Look up her local Home Economics Extension branch---------generally thru a state college. Again, they may be able to point Nat toward help.
