" How to Sew a Button is a must-have book for anyone who wants to reap the wisdom of our grandmothers. I learned so much from my grandmother--ironing, how to bake the perfect cheesecake, as well as other cherished life-long tips--but what I learned most from her was how to enjoy these everyday tasks and the true essence of life. The grandmothers in this book are inspiring to all of us."--Cat Cora, Iron Chef and author of Cooking from the Hip "Erin Bried makes being happy and healthy so simple and fun. She's a girl after my own heart!"--Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser trainer and author of Master Your Metabolism "Thank goodness for grandmothers and thank goodness for Erin Bried, who compiled his compendium of useful, clever, need-to-know advice, wisdom and practical information.

Kalish, author of Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression "Erin Bried's How to Sew a Button is full of crystal clear, friendly, and funny instructions on how to do hundreds of little things that your mother forgot to teach you-not just sewing on buttons, filleting fish, and making gravy, but balancing your checkbook, tying a necktie, and (my personal favorite) how to waltz. A fun, valuable home book for just about anyone, male or female."--Cheryl Mendelson, author of Home Comforts "A breezily useful guide to timeless home-ec skills."-- O Magazine "If you wish you could hem your pants without waiting for the tailor or unclog a drain without paying a plumber, you need to read How to Sew a Button ...[it] might save you money, time, and lots of frustration.-- Redbook "Combating domestic illiteracy one button at a time, How to Sew a Button is a refreshing take on DIY and self-care, valuable for women at any stage of life."-- Bookpage "The perfect book for these hard economic times when money is tight, but ingenuity is plentiful...As comforting as a hand-sewn quilt, and filled with beguilingly retro illustrations, the tips are a snap, empowering, and fun...Bolstered with nostalgic charm, every page is filled with age-old wisdom for brand new do-it-yourself empowerment."-- Boston Globe " How to Sew a Button is a handy guide to running your household and, in many ways, your life."-- Washington Post "For the domestically challenged among us, there is hope. Her name is Erin Bried."-- Detroit Free Press "Charming and timely.

Even readers who learned practical household skills from their elders will relish its reminders on the soft skills involved in being a good friend or fine neighbor, volunteering, and speaking up at city hall."-- Library Journal "Each [tip] is written in a practical yet humor filled tone -- as if your best friend suddenly morphed into a Donna Reed-Tina Fey hybrid."--ErinCooks.com , " How to Sew a Button is a must-have book for anyone who wants to reap the wisdom of our grandmothers.
