Just finished doing a dress alteration for the lady that runs our local caff at the end of the street. Was able to fix her issue with a bought dress that was too long to dance in, but needed the long train for the photos. Heh heh, button and loop to hook up the train worked again! Free coffee all next week for 5 mins work and a button from the stash! Sewing is close to being the ultimate trade goods.

I remember the day I learned to sew a button back on. I was so damn proud of myself. I even practiced on a spare tea towel first lol

Itâs just as liberating as learning to replace a tap washer I reckon. Basic humaning skillset includes both. My dad used to reckon that there were 5 tasks that if you could do them, there was no situation for which you were completely unprepared. The older I get the more I think he just might have been right. Sewing on a button was one of the tasks.
