How Learning Sewing Can Help You

Every household has a member who has some knowledge of sewing. You will never know when you will need the help of a simple needle and thread. If you know sewing, emergencies like a torn button or a hemline that needs immediate attention, will not pose any problem for you. You can do small mending that can make a dress wearable again or save a pillow cover from further damage, if you know sewing. Such small mending most of the time is not done by laundry or they charge a hefty amount. Another option is to throw away that piece of garment; which is equal to throwing away your hard earned money.
