it's all about the little triumphs, you know.

like sewing buttons so i could finally wear this dress again. you might recognize the piece from the erin fetherston x target collection, and i adored it so, but the default buttons were sewn haphazardly, and of course fell off in a few weeks' time.


then yesterday, i found these buttons inside the rusty drawers of the corner fabric shop; sewed them on and realized they looked like gold studs from afar. aha ! added bonus.


it's fascinating how a small project could bring such a smile to my face. it's good to have the sewing machine back; i really should spend more time with it.


there's something therapeutic about the process of creating, no ?
