Simple Mind: Real Men Sew

We usually celebrate New Years Eve, New York style. We say HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! at 9pm our time, as that is New Years on the East Coast in Time Square. And then head to bed. But this year it was different… we stayed up the whole time, in fact we didn’t go to bed until 1 a.m. You see I got something special for the King. As you can see in the picture he is sitting in front of a sewing machine. We were walking thru the store 4 days before Christmas, and as we went by the sewing machines, he said, I sure would like to have a sewing machine. I asked him what would he do with it.. and he said, sew, of course. Like what I asked. He said well, deer bags for one thing. He got a good deal on some mattress covers and thought he could make them out of that. So the next day I went down and bought it. As I had no clue what to get him before that/Cis, From A Simple Mind. More here.

Question (to men): Do you know how to sew?
