MURPHY'S LAW FOR SEAMSTRESSES


*Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron.

*The serger 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 preshrink 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 in your

box of pins...with the cover off.

*Whenever the construction process is going well, the bobbin thread

runs out.

*The cost 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 barefoot.

*Facings tend to be sewn to the wrong side. (Opposite side 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 colored fabrics.

*The sewing machine light usually burns out late at night.

*Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them.

*Gathering threads always breaks in the middle.

*The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole.
