Girl skills have vanished too.
I know how to sew. I learned about 25 years ago that I had to keep that a secret, because when word gets out, women I barely know will ask me to do free alterations.
It used to be that only the men didn’t know how to sew a button on a shirt. Now almost nobody knows.
Heck, I learned how to sew a button on a shirt and darn a sock when I was about six years old.
I saw some of the younger people on some recent tv shows, they sure aren’t afraid of power tools though, lol. Me on the other hand, I use as many hand tools as I can regardless. A coping saw is my favorite tool, lol, used one today to put up a birdhouse for the Bluebird. He embarrassed me today. His old house was a disaster over the winter and I had planned putting him up a new one. He landed on the cross wondering where his old house was. I got her done. We live near a church, it was appropriate.
No wonder it's so hard for me to find someone to take up my jeans/overall pant legs. Us old guys are well willing to PAY too. ;^)
