My grandmother passed away a few years ago and growing up, I was the only grand child she could pass her knowledge down to, I learned to knit, sew, crochet, and how to use a sewing machine, neither her son (my dad) didn't care for it, neither my brother or sister, but I learned as much as possible from her. But my question is, is it "girly" to carry around a pocket sewing kit incase I spring a button? Or if I wanna make clothes? Or blankets? I'm a 23 year old man, and sometimes my coworkers make fun of me
