My favorite knit cap frayed and came apart at a seam, and left me

Grandma S taught me way back in the 80s how to mend things with needle

Not so far. Mainly just repair/replace buttons. Usually I get paint on
my clothes or get sick of them before they wear out.
Me neither, but it seems like a handy skill to have.
