My favorite knit cap frayed and came apart at a seam, and left me
looking and feeling like a Linux hobo. Rather than waste money on a
new cap, I fixed it.

1st pic is cap turned inside out, before mending 2nd pic is cap turned
right-side out, after mending
On both pics the seam I fixed is at 3pm.
Grandma S taught me way back in the 80s how to mend things with needle
and thread. It's a handy skill. I've reinforced or reattached at
least 20 buttons thru the years, but this was my first time working
along a seam.
Dignity is restored.
Cool! Do you knit a lot?

In boot camp, we had to sew patches onto our uniforms by hand.
Those of us who knew how to sew taught those who didn't. There was no ribbing that we knew how to sew...it was a survival skill.

Not so far. Mainly just repair/replace buttons. Usually I get paint on
my clothes or get sick of them before they wear out.

Oh, cool! I didn't know that you were in the military.
Me neither, but it seems like a handy skill to have.
