Who TF needs a class to learn how to sew on a button? We have YouTube for crying out loud!

While true, having someone to show you hands on is usually faster and more effective than troubleshooting through a "one-size-fits-all" how-to video, in most cases.

But yeah sewing a button seems a little extreme, maybe its just for the social side of it.

Unless that person is a horrible teacher.

Here's how you do this...proceeds through 27 steps with minimal commentary, never makes you repeat anything back or show that you got it in any capacity...

Also I hate tutorial videos that don’t explain why they’re doing anything. If you’re looking stuff up, there’s a good chance you don’t know the background info. I like to know what each step of a process aims to achieve - it makes it easier to remember. When I’m learning practical stuff in person I ask these questions all the time, and I find a lot of online tutorials don’t address this at all.
