you will always have that favorite piece of clothing or like a backpack that needs repair etc.
It’s not even hard and looks better than before in almost all cases imo, even if you’re not skilled.
Yup yup! It’s so true. I never learned how to stitch well but my shitty stitch jobs have saved tons of items from being ruined
Stitched my crotch in my shorts at work one day during summer job. I was making bird toys and left my needle and thread in my bag that day(luckily). The looks from my coworkers were varried, however they no longer were looking at my underwear.
As a dad of a special needs child, I am very thankful that my mom taught me to thread a needle and a basic stitch.
My child has had several “must have” cloth toys that require/d repair. It would have been very difficult for them and myself had I not bee able to patch the toys up so that they could continue to play with them.
I am by no means great at sewing. I can patch up a rip, sew in a button, sew in a cloth patch to mend a hole. And that’s about it. That’s been more than enough thus far. :-)
This is a skill I’m really trying to learn. I can do basic sewing, and I’m a huge fan of visible mending for sweaters, but I don’t do it as often as I’d like to. A lot of times the seams on clothes are not as strong as ones you could do yourself, anyway.
