What are the benefits of knowing how to sew?

I learned how to sew when I was in high school when I needed to take up a course that was required during my time for home economics. I had decided to pick sewing as I always saw my mom sew our clothes when we're young during that time we had no money to buy clothes that was bought from a department store. We lived off from only one income which my mom was only a housewife who took care of us and she also started taking care of other children who became our friends as we had grown up. The benefit of knowing how to sew now that we are unable to go shopping and buy new set of clothes as my clothes are falling off my waist I have been sewing my clothes to adjust it back to my size. When you know how to sew you can make a lot of things to keep yourself busy as my friends are making homemade facial mask for their personal needs as well giving or selling it to their friends. The benefit we can put our time and creation when we are sewing and time flies fast as we are sew somethin

How to Protect Your Phone

Many of us like to think of a way how to protect our phone when dropping to prevent it from breaking as we are using it every day. The trend is to make sure our phone is cleaned from bacteria and often we are cleaning it with alcohol so many of us are worried it can be catch on as we leave it on the table or having it brought out when we use it. There are so many phone cases to use to protect our phone but there are so many selections and styles to pick out for what kind of model your phone may be as for me I have tried putting a screen guard on my phone but it doesn't seem to work on any Samsung Galaxy because for some reason when you type it doesn't allow you too. In order to protect my phone I would buy a case that has a screen cover attached this way it protects my phone from dropping and I can still manage to type from it.
