mine wouldn't know which end of a sewing machine was up. he is too much a computer geek to even think of trying sewing. he can sew a button on< maybe i think, if he had too and no one was around. but there would probably be lots of swearing and blood. He thinks it is not really manly to get into it. I have tried to tell him that there are lots of manly men who quilt but he thinks that i am making that up. hehe maybe one day.
