How to sew. This is one of those skills that everyone used to have a basic knowledge of, but no longer do. Like ironing, or cooking. I can't tell you how many times I've been travelling and knowing how to sew, be it a button or how to mend a tear or whatever would have come in handy.

Fortunately, I am usually able to run into compassionate people when I have these kinds of problems, but I'd like to be able to handle anything that life throws my way without mangling it too much.

I did one term of sewing back at school, I don't think I'll ever forget it. If you can invest a bit of time to learn, it's one of those skills that you never forget.

With the amount of buttons I end up dropping, it really is something I should learn. It's one of those things that I'll leave on my to do lists that is then somehow fixed whenever I have a girlfriend. That's not a pattern I want to stick with!

That one is unique and very useful.
