It's just as liberating as learning to replace a tap washer I reckon. Basic humaning skillset includes both. My dad used to reckon that there were 5 tasks that if you could do them, there was no situation for which you were completely unprepared. The older I get the more I think he just might have been right. Sewing on a button was one of the tasks.

Sew, Basic home maintenance, Changing a tyre, Budgeting, Cooking.
