I am being sarcastic...and I would agree that men are much more capable of basic domestic stuff than they were 50 years ago from what I can tell. |

lol I just want to learn how to do the basics. Well, AT LEAST the basics. So I don't have to take my shirts to the tailor when I just need a button sewn on or a small stitch. |

yeah, i really need to invest in a sewing machine. tailoring pants is very expensive. Like i want to pay 20 bucks to tailer pants that cost 20 bucks. such a waste. my mom sewed everything for me. |

So you don't think it's worth it for someone to mend your clothes, but paying someone to raise your child is alright?? |

Same. My mom has a sewing machine but I doubt she'll let me have it. Nor do I have room for it.
Have you heard of those little handheld sewing machine things, or small fixes? I wonder if they work. |
