This weekend, I helped my Mom with a quick sewing project.  She bought a super cute bathrobe, but didn't want to use the tie that came with it.  She prefers a button.  I told her I could add one for her and here it is:

I took the lazy way out and stitched it with my sewing machine and I figured I'd put together a short video for you showing how lazy a choice that was.  This is a real time video of the process, and even with all the talking, it takes just 5 minutes!

I hope you found that helpful! Thanks for stopping by!

  • Lazy, YOU?!? That’s definitely not an adjective I’d use to describe you! Besides, you have so much to do, and that’s why they created those functions. Take the easy road when you can, that’s my advice. (Aren’t you renovating a home, too?!)

  • Love that sewing machine. So cool. I agree….I would not use the word “lazy” to describe you at all!! Rather you look for alternative ways to tackle a project, a challenge. Please…do not call yourself “lazy”!!
