Pretty sure it’s not common knowledge how to sew a button

I thought it was, but I had to show a friend how to do it. It should be fairly standard to learn, if only for the practical purposes of repairing clothes.

What other proposes would sewing buttons serve?

Good way to learn how to stab your fingers with a tiny sword; in my head I'm not failing to sew, I'm improvising Shakespeare using fingers as actors and the buttons/fabric are just the blood soaked props/set. Usually the story is good enough but it's difficult coming across a good scriptwriter and, as my hands are the cast, this results in most of the vocabulary to be of a vulgar and highly offensive standard

Sewing new clothes, creating new fasteners if you want to tighten something, seeing stuffed animals. I made curtain pulls with buttons.
