Murphy's Laws of Sewing

I recently found this and thought it was so cute that I should share it:

• Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron.

• If you need six matching buttons, you will find five in your button box.

• The seam you mean to rip out is invariably the other one.

• If you drop something out of your sewing basket, it will be your box of pins with the cover off.

• The magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric.

• Your lost needle will be found by the person walking around barefoot.

• The steam iron only burps rusty water on white swiss batiste.

• Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them.

• Gathering threads always break in the middle.

• The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole.
