I thought that some of you might like it...

Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron

The serge only eats the customer's garment

If you need 6 buttons, you will find 5 in your button box

The seam you meant to rip out is invariably the other one

When you are in a hurry, the needle eye is always too small

The fabric you forgot to pre-shrink will always shrink the most

The pattern you wanted to make again will have one key piece missing

If you drop something out of your sewing basket, it will be your box of pins, with the cover off

Whenever the construction process is going well, the bobbin thread runs out

The magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric

Your lost needle will be found by your son, husband or brother-in-law, while walking around barefoot

Facings tend to be sewn to the wrong side (Opposite sides attract)

Collar points don't match, and you've trimmed all the seams

The iron never scorches the garment until its final pressing

The steam iron only burps rusty water on light silk fabric

The sewing machine light usually burns out on Sunday

Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them

Gathering threads always break in the middle

The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole

Matching edges don't
