I could have ripped out the whole damn cuff and installed a new one, but I literally don't have time for that shit. (Literal on the time part, not the shit part.) So I ripped out the buttonhole stitching and mended that hole right on up. Didn't even change the thread. I had the turquoise on for sewing on the buttons, and it worked pretty well if you ask me.

I did have to move the button over a little closer to the edge to get the plaid to line up correctly, so if you look really closely at my wrist, you can see the mending. But who's going to get that close to my hand?
