On the other hand, sewing is pretty useful. I have had many pairs of trousers whose lives were greatly extended by my making repairs to them.

Although at some point, i discovered that superglue was much easier than sewing.

I just darned some slacks and fixed a button yesterday. It's a good skill to have.

I fixed a button on my shorts. It's not pretty but my pants stay up.

Right on :) I feel like there's a weak parallel to be made between F/L/O software and sewing (and other DIY repair/customization).
