That's a cool one; I can do buttons but that's about it. Exactly the sort of thing I need to learn! Also just how to alter clothes, like I have a pair of jeans that really need hemming. I'd like to get my hands on a good sewing machine eventually but for now the needle and thread I have will suffice. :) (Eventually my master plan is to learn how to hunt, brain-tan hides, and then sew clothes from the buckskins. I suspect elk hide would make the best possible riding pants, and also elk are deeeeelicious.)
One of my projects for the winter is going to be experimenting with painting on clothes; I have a few pairs of jeans with some pretty serious stains on them (mostly from adventures in learning how to load and light the woodstove :D) that I think it'd be cool to paint tattoo-y designs on them or something to cover up the spots. :D
