No Sew Solutions

Rachel was scootering around the office this morning asking for a sewing kit because she ripped the seam of her lovely chocolate brown sweater. Someone suggested she staple her sweater. Rachel, not one to destroy her sweater with staples, scoffed at the "boy solution." Inspired by the "boy solution," I've fashioned a less destructive solution with some "girly flair." I used some sheer fabric ribbon leftover from my birthday to tie a nice big bow to a mini binder clip that's now clipping together the ripped seam. The bow camouflages both the rip and the binder clip and the green ribbon is a nice festive contrast to the brown sweater. It pays to never throw things like old ribbons away.
