I don't mean to impress you guys, but I can most definitely sew a button back on.
My mom used to make beautiful quilts, but she's sort of lost the motivation for it. I made quilt squares when I was in 4th grade, learned how to repair buttons in 7th, and how to embroider in 8th!
I'm wanting to learn how to make skirts. I'll probably pick up the hobby this summer when I have more time.
I used to be REALLY into embroidery after I learned in school, but I love my embroidery thread so much that I can't use it. It's too pretty and nothing is good enough to justify using it (also, for a long time it disappeared from the stores in my area and when i did find it, it was expensive x.x). So, it just sits in my box and I pull it out and stare at it from time to time. >.>
