Sewing - part of your skill set?

I'm not very good at it but I can get by with a torn bag or something along those lines if it doesn't need to be aesthetically pleasing. Very satisfying to fix a tear when out camping with a small sewing kit IMO. Whenever someone jokes with me about sewing I always say yeah I learned it on the reserve from an old Mohawk lady.. Also taught me the proper method for scalping with a Tomahawk. ;)

It's a bit of a dark joke but I've sure gotten some wide eyes out ot it LOL.

SO, any of you other ladies sew? :p

I sew by hand quite often. Doesn't look real good but it holds together. I took a class when I was in high school (about 1970) called Bachelor Living. Learned how to cook, sew on buttons, iron shirts and slacks and do laundry. I still sew and cook but not much call for ironing any more.

Thats cool GG too bad we dont have that kind of thing any more, not even home economics.

Us: "Hey could you you teach us to feed ourselves and keep our place in order seems like that could be important when I live on my own?"

Public Schools: "SHUT UP AND SQUARE DANCE."

Yea this girl can sew too. I also got to practice all the life skills when I was in HighSchool as well. My Mom also went nutty one day when I was 12 years old when I asked her if my jeans were washed and when lunch was going to be ready. I won't even go into that very long answer and beginning of my Basic Training on why I was NEVER going to lean on my wife to get through life!

Haha yeah Mo, real men can stitch a flag or a wound all the same . :) Thats a funny story about your mum, happened to me when I asked the fatal question 'Why are women always cooking' and my mother had me in the kitchen for a week with her cooking...

...Hell hath no fury like that of a woman having a hot flash in front of a 450° oven hahaha..

Yes! I sew. I'm an old wrestler build like a bulldog. Pants don't fit off the shelf so I learned to hem pants. I've done other small projects too but thinking of making some shooting pouches.

Maybe something simple to start this is how I carry my lead balls sometimes:
