I can sow a button.

A little bit of a

When I was taking summer classes at FIT last summer, 

I was one of two people in the student lounge doing HW. 

I waiting for my sister to be done with her internship so we could take the train home together. 

A guy wondered in with a button in his hand and a sad and dismayed look on his face. 

He approached me and said, "Can you sow a button?"

I took out my headphones and said, "Um, I think so. Can I see what the button looks like?"

It was a grey tweed blazer that was definitely a couple sizes too tight 

(probably why said button popped off)

The button was a normal flat button but the other one was sowed on with extra string 

around the base to lift it up and give it more movement. 

I said, "Yeah I can do this" and he was so thankful. 

He gave me a little FIT sowing kit and left me to sow.

When he came back he asked, "So are you in the designing program here?" 

I said, "No, business"

& he said "Oh, how did you learn how to sow"

I said, "My Nonna (my Italian grandmother) taught me and if she found out that 

I didn't help you sow this button she would be upset with me"

When it the button was secured back on the blazer, he told me I could keep the little sowing kit 

& paid me $20.

$20?! 

What a good deal.

So hit me up if you need any buttons sowed, 

$20 is the going rate.

Does that go on my resume?

Took a little stroll through Time Square the other day:

How bad ass is this Carters billboard?!
