Seamstress

Well folks, a while back I bumped into a wooden pole while trying to park and it tore my bra. Ginny's stepdad let me borrow a needle and I went to michael's to get some thread. It turns out that Michael's = NO MANS LAND! I didn't see another guy in the whole store. I found some thread and some leather working things but was really confused like a deer in the headlights, I wandered around for a while with my hands in my pockets looking uncomfortable hoping that someone would save me and give me some direction.

I eventually got brave and talked to a lady in a red apron, she told me that they had regular thread and some leather thread (I had seen both already) but that there was a sewing machine store right next door. I thanked her and checked out the leather thread, it was an insane $17 a roll, the bra costs about $40 new so I was like um no and headed to the sewing machine store next door. There were two girls working the counter and helping an elderly looking lady, the free one asked if I needed help, I told her that I was looking to sew up some vinal. She pointed me to the adjoying fabric section saying there were some apolstry threads. I went there saw lots of threads but wasn't sure what to do. I asked a gray haired woman with short hair who was folding some fabric if she could help me, she said that there was the polyester and the nylon though sometimes the nylon thread is too strong and can tear things. I went with a roll of black nylon, stood in line behind 4 women and there was a girl working the casheer too, I felt outnumbered.

I payed a $4.95 for the roll and went home to start doing something _very_ unmanly (sewing). So that's where I'm at now, I think it looks better and I didn't spend as much money fixing it. BTW sewing it up was my Dad's idea.
