• Darn It (A Tailor To Cities, or Sew It Goes)

  Having lived without a woman in the house for 20 years, I learned
  to sew pretty well.  I even sewed my own juggling bags!  Now
  that I’m married and there’s a woman in the house, I’m still doing the
  sewing.  Just twice as much.  =P

  For June and all those other “enlightened” women who don’t know how to
  sew, here are my top three things you need to know about mending
  clothes with a needle and thread:

  1. Match the thread color carefully.  On textured clothing, pick a slightly darker shade.
  2. Begin from the inside of the garment, so the final thread ends don’t show.
  3. To avoid bunching, don’t pull the thread too tightly.
