I'm a guy who is approaching 60 years old. It is safe to say none of my friends knew how to sew. Stupid stereotypes of that time. But my mom taught me how to sew. Her grandmother was highly skilled at needlework and made lovely quilts.
Over the years sewing has saved me tons of money. Being able to repair an assortment of clothing and other items has been great. I'm not highly skilled at it, but can make basic repairs. Most recently I sewed a cuff on a fairly new flannel shirt where the stitching at the cuff came loose. I also recently repaired my granddaughter's Olaf bean bag chair that stitching came loose on.
Today I'm sure anyone can learn basic sewing repair by watching a youtube video. It is a simple skill that pays off big dividends.
