All three of my boys know how to sew.
My middle son has been in the Air Force for 12 years now. I bought him a Sewing machine several years ago.
His ex- wife made fun of him until he sewed her patches on her uniform, saving them about $50.00 each.
Then after they split, he had a fellow airman who gave him a hard time about sewing, until Dave sewed his patches on also.
My youngest son does some entertaining and made his costumes.
