There are a lot of basic skills that some of us just never learned as kids. But as adults, we get to decide which of these are worth teaching ourselves. And one such skill that can significantly benefit your life is sewing.
It’s so much easier than you think. You can easily find a simple or used sewing machine for $100 or less. YouTube videos, sewing classes at your local fabric store or library, or even just asking your grandma are all great, accessible ways to learn how to do it.
And once you’ve got the skills, you’ll find so many advantages to sewing. Now, you won’t have to throw out a shirt just because of a small tear. You won’t have to pay the big bucks for a seamstress to alter your new clothes: you can do it yourself.
You’ll be able to buy clothes at the thrift store and modify them to look exactly how you want them to. And if you want to get a little fancy, you can even buy fabric and patterns and make your dream wardrobe completely from scratch.
The best part? It’s so much more ethical than buying new or shopping fast fashion. And it’s way more affordable in the long run. So what are you waiting for? Pick up that sewing needle and get going.
