Murphy's sewing laws

Fusible interfacings always fuses to the iron
The serger only eats the customer's garment
If you need 6 buttons, you will find 5 in your button box
The seam you meant to rip out is invariably the other one
When you are in a hurry, the needle eye is always too small
The fabric you forgot to pre-shrink will always shrink the most
The pattern you wanted to make again will have one key piece missing
If you drop something out of your sewing basket, it will be your box of
pins, with the cover off
Whenever the construction process is going well, the bobbin thread runs out
The magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric
Your lost needle will be found by your son, husband or brother-in-law, while walking around barefoot
Facings tend to be sewn to the wrong side (Opposite sides attract)
Collar points don't match, and you've trimmed all the seams
The iron never scorches the garment until its final pressing
The steam iron only burps rusty water on light silk fabric
The sewing machine light usually burns out on Sunday
Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them
Gathering threads always break in the middle
The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole
Matching edges don't
You will spill your pin box once per garment.
As yee sew, so shall ye rip
