Because I'm curious, and I have no idea how polls work. How many of y'all can/could sew, by hand? Like if you got a tear in your pants right now, could you sew it?
I never did home economics, didn’t need it. Took wood shop and auto mechanics instead. Learned to sew, cook, swing a hammer, use power tools at home. I hand sewed a dog bed at age 6 or 7 because I was too young to use the sewing machine. This was normal in Alaska, much less so in south 48.
