Which garments needed fixing? And why bother about sewing? Isn't that like trying to fix a computer yourself: sometimes possible, sometimes not, sometimes not worth it. We live in a throwaway world. And what can't be thrown will be serviced; by smone else.
@jkniiv they're relative new items, a couple of buttons & tears (as you know, I'm not the most graceful or careful person). I don't usually buy too much new clothes, rather spend the money somewhere else, plus I don't have the luxury of splurging nowadays
And just because we live in a throwaway world doesn't mean I have to be a throwaway person. People are just getting more and more wasteful (myself included, which is why I want to do something different)

Everyone should learn how to sew (Then again I feel the same about cooking). My sewing isn't pretty but it's functional.

Fuck, sewing is hard. I need a wife. 3 pieces of garments fixed. Now to nails...

Good. This response was the one I hoped to provoke from you. :D I'm so proud of your independent spirit -- if only I could do half as much as you. ;)
