Sort buttons and mend with friends

Would you buy buttons just to sort them?

No, I want to use the ones already waiting in a tin. We can sort what is useful and mend something small. What would the materials cost? Ideally, the buttons should remain the cheapest guests.

I am interested in the company, less in producing a polished result. Would that fit? One thing I should say upfront: I prefer borrowing equipment before buying it.

I can leave that question open until the practical details are clearer. I want to keep “Sort buttons and mend with friends” manageable for the people involved. It would fit the small version I have in mind. We can enjoy making an attempt without promising a polished outcome.

I would also like to host a plant-based meal with friends. For me, I prefer borrowing equipment before buying it. I work as a cleaner, and I prefer borrowing equipment before buying it. The help I would welcome is someone willing to compare first attempts. I am trying to leave enough room for the ordinary parts of the week, so I would rather compare one modest attempt than agree to a bigger commitment before I know it fits. That is how I see “Sort buttons and mend with friends”.

I'd love two friends to bring one garment needing a simple button and join me at home. We can choose from my spare buttons by colour and share vegan snacks. One evening, a few secure buttons, and no growing mountain of free repairs.

For this wish, Wang Lili: With vegan lunches, I tend to notice how much preparation sits behind the nice result. What would you leave out here?

I would keep “Sort buttons and mend with friends” as one small invitation. A different version of a related wish could teach us something without either of us copying the other's whole plan.

Please leave room for someone to have a less positive experience too. I would also like to host a plant-based meal with friends. That is how I see “Sort buttons and mend with friends”.
