Sewing is one of those skills that I’ve never really been great at.

To get around this, I use a sewing machine for basic repairs. It takes longer to set the machine up than it does to actually repair the garment. I decided today to just be brave and attempt sewing the old fashioned way.

3 needle pricks later, and a very un-straight stitch, and I have come to remember why I usually use the sewing machine.

Ow.
