What The Frock: Chris Martin Likes To Sew

 It looks like Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't just attracted to husband Chris Martin for his rock-star vibe – she also liked the way he could mend the ruffle on her Prada mini.  

The Coldplay frontman says that he and his bandmates like nothing better than some time threading the needle.  And, no, that isn't a euphemism.

"Making clothes together in our studio makes us feel complete. We probably sound like a group of grannies in a knitting circle but it's the truth and it gives us some control over our visual identity," Martin says.

And while most bands head straight for the Stoli after a big show, Martin says he and the boys like to kick back by hemming their pants.  "We see if they have a sewing kit in the amenities draw in case we feel inspired."

"When you are a big band and everyone is taking shots at you, the more things you can do together the better.  And if you're wearing uniforms made by your own hands it helps achieve that."

Those mad skillz should come in handy when Chris needs to whip up some nice back-to-school clothes for Apple and Moses.
