10. Mending
Okay, I’m about to ask you an honest question; what do you do when your sock gets a hole in it? I’m guessing you just throw it away right? It’s okay if you do because we have all gotten in the habit of having throwaway clothing because the fashion industry has made the turn and burn outfit a trend. I’m not saying you have to stop shopping at places like forever 21 for things you just can’t resist, like the latest lace up top or choker—but it’s not such a bad idea to learn how to mend clothing to be able to get the most out of them. Basic sewing skills will allow you to sew on a missing button or patch up a hole in your favorite shirt—and best of all, you can save some money to start a savings account or to put towards a down payment on a home. Think of the possibilities.
