Yes.. there is a very dangerous down side to the habit of DIY. I was expecting it to some degree but not to the extent that I was impacted. No I'm not talking about money, although that is a serious consideration before you get into contact with the DIY virus. It is in fact cheaper to buy Wally World $1 fabric and make it your self rather than buy the retail stuff full price. So to a degree the money can be rationalized. I am talking about something far more sinister and far more disruptive to household harmony and marital bliss.
I am talking to you specifically men as you are most likely to find this happening to you. It is that dreaded moment when you bend over to reach for something on the floor and the seam in your pants rips... Or the cuff that gets caught somewhere and pulls out. Or any of others minor every day inconveniences with you clothing or fabric of some sort. You take it in hand to your previously loving and doting wife only to hear.... "You can sew ... YOU can fix that." Ouch........
