IS A MALE SEAMSTRESS A SEAMSTER? I'm not just curious. This question has practical applications. I just sewed my first button and am quite proud of it.

To be more precise, I'm not proud of my sewing, which is terrible. The thread is the wrong color and the stitches are uneven and all over the place. I'll probably cut the button off my suit and try again this weekend.

But I am proud that I bothered to learn (courtesy of eHow.com). The bottom line is I don't like paying other people to do things I should easily be able to do for myself. I can afford it, but I don't like it.

By the way, the comments section below is reserved for anyone who wants to remark on the privileged upbringing I must've had if I consider myself domestically accomplished for having sewn a button.

Still Michael, David deserves a break for missing the tailor thing, it was only, after all, in the last couple of weeks that he learned about shirts, suits and stuff :-)

David, I've sewed on a few buttons in my day, it's not that hard once you've done it a couple times, if you want to be sure it never comes off again, use dental floss for thread (if the color scheme allows).
 
Great info, really helpful for those starting to build a link profile. Highly appreciate your efforts in sharing this article.
