Guys: Do you know how to sew?
 

I could do it, but that is one of the reasons I have a wife... :)

havent done it in ages, but i can do it by hand or with machine

That's what women are for...

That is really too much trouble for something that takes 5-10 minutes to do.

Learned all that in the military

That late huh? I learned to do that in grade school.

No, sure can't fix a rip but if it was ripped other than jeans I'd probably not wear it anymore. A button I can put back on.

I can do it.

To be honest, I probably would not bother repairing torn clothing . . . but I just fixed my dog's favorite toy. It was worth the 5 minutes.

In all fairness, when you were in grade school people still made their own clothing. :winkwink:

My mom had a sewing store when I was a kid..

I can sew, while getting a B.J.

Is this thread related to the 'grunt work' thread you posted earlier? If so, I am glad I didn't reply. I can sew... just glad I didn't reply.

good point

ummm, no

I never had to do it as a child but, when I went into the military I had to do these things for myself......sewing was basic stuff.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh I see you have been talking to Martina.

yup I can, whats so hard about it?

fuck sewing

Yes...was taught to at school...

ya, learned when I was a kid, it was a good way to spend time alone with mom.
now that I have my 2 kids full time I find I use the knowledge more than ever.
thanks mom :)

i have no idea

I was making clothes for my barbies when I was a kid:1orglaugh They looked pretty good, so yeah, I know how to sew

Nope, came up with it while repairing one of Buddy's toys.

i could probably figure it out, i had to take a class in 8th grade. i would give it to my mom to do though.

I can sew, knit and croche

Yes I am very straight, just my pops didn't have much cash when I was a kid so if I fell down and ripped my trousers playing football, I sewed em up :thumbsup

The knitting I can blame on my mom. It was either knit, or hold the ball of wool

learned how to sew while in the marines of all things.... most marines can.

I've stitched up tons of stuff over the years with the old needle & thread.

Unmanly?

Better than taking it to mommy or walking around with holes in your clothes like a goombah.

A button no worries, but a tear in a piece of clothing would take me a bit longer to nut out. We get tought basic sewing in primary school but that was yonks ago. :)

-N

learned in the military.

oh wait that was stitches in the field. lol.

Yes,yes I can

I can sew.. my mother never could sew so I had to learn haha...

I am boat builder by trade and used to work for sail maker. I any case you should not own a shirt if you can not put a button on it

I can certainly sew. I used to be able to knit and embroider too, but it's so many years since I have done either, I doubt the results would be very impressive :)

I was one of those kids who wanted to know everything and how to do everything. At the time, it didn't strike me as any more strange to learn how to use my mother's sewing stuff than it was to read my father's law books. And let me tell you, at 8 years old, 20 volumes of "The Roman Laws of Jurisprudence" are no picnic!

thats what working and shops are for. when you ruin clothes, you go and buy some more.

Yes, I actually made my pimp outfit for the Player's Ball in New Orleans a few years back.

I can do it no problem, either with a machine or a needle, but I have no urge right now :)

My Mother and sisters could sew just about anything and I watched just enough to be able to do some simple stuff. I made the dress in this picture and it's nice to be able to go to the fabric store and spend about $12 on some fabric and make something myself as opposed to spending $120 at the mall for something I will only use once for pictures. For me it's just part of the creative process in producing an image.

Awe...baddog fixes toy for good dog, that's so sweet:)

I can sew... crappily.

I've spent the last year convincing my girlfriend it's a domestic skill she needs to master. :)

that is easy.......for single.........

It is his comfort toy. First one I bought for him when I first got him.

While he will spend hours (if necessary) to destroy any other toy I have gotten for him, for some reason he loves this thing.

When I go out of town and friends come over to walk him or play with him, that toy is always with him.

It got rained on the other day so some of the seam started to give out, so I decided a stitch in time saves nine.

I have no idea, never sewed anything in my life

Ah... you mean "creative sewing" :winkwink: Can identify with that :-)

Sure.. used to publish a lot of catalogs of "erotic fashion" (about 4 times/year) and operated a factory to produce the product - but still no clue whatsoever about "sewing" - but can tell if stitching/seams are crappy :pimp

I learned to sew when I was a kid, I can use a sewing machine, but pretty much if it tears, I throw it away

this thread deserves at least a nomination of 'most useless thread of the year'-award.

mnn it cant be that hard.. never tried :( stapler works wonders for emergencies.. hehe

I can, but it isn't pretty.
