I would like to make a learn to stitch child thing. I need some sayings to frame it out. Any suggestions? Here are the blocks I want to use. I am not a writer. Stitch in time saves nine. I do not even know what that means. Back stitch your seams? If it rips Stitch it quick? Lol!

Put sewing phrases into Google or similar then you will have a vast choice.

I really want something original if I can. Sometimes I wish I was a poet, I feel I have it in me, just can't get it out.

If your clothes are pressed you don't look stressed!

Excellent, I have not heard most of these. Thank you

"A stitch in time saves nine" was a reminder to repair a small hole, rip or tear before it became a big hole etc. Very good advice when it was a knitted item. It might go with the sewing lady.
Not so easy to find fitting expressions for the buttons and ironing designs!

How about general sewing creating. I am making this for my future grandchild in case I am not around. I is important to me. Thanks for the post. I like "if it rips stitch it quick" better even if it doesn't rhyme.

I'm short on proverbs - a lot of wisdom from my grandmas but all of it in Dutch :)
