the problem with being a sewer is that it makes it difficult to buy clothing... everything is just so poorly made these days it is galling! i bought young h a lovely duffle coat at a nice store and one of the buttons was off within a week, and the zipper was coming loose too... just finished sewing on a new button properly, and reinforcing all the other buttons properly, and reinforcing the zipper. grr! serves me right for having standards i guess.
this is also why i love vintage... things used to be so well made compared to now. sigh. can i be transported back about 5 decades please?
Yeah, shame on you for having such extreme standards, wanting to be able to button up and zip your child's coat. How picky.
