My Carefree Clothes For Girls book finally arrived in the mail and I decided my first project would be the apron top from the cover. A simple sewing project perfect for the beginner. It did involve a button hole so I had to brush the dust of my machine's manual and re-acquaint myself with how exactly to do that. I knew it was risky to make something for Bijou that had a button since she has been on a button strike for about 3 years now so I decided to make up a little white lie.
B: "Mommy, I don't like it."
Me: "Why?"
B: "Because it has a button."
Me: "Oh, did you think this yellow thing was a button?"
B: "Yeah."
Me: "Oh no, this isn't a button it's called a lemon drop. Have you ever seen one? It looks like a button but it's actually a lemon drop. Come over here so I can try it on you."
B: "OK."
It's that easy! I hope I'm not racking up bad Karma for this but really, what is the harm in a little button?!
Wow! That's adorable. My son went on a button strike for a while too, but it was much shorter -- only 2 years. Still, I fee your pain.
