Sewing is the queen of lost skills, so if you don't know even the most basic stitches, you really aren't alone. At minimum, though, you should know how to sew hems, repair small rips and tears, and attach buttons. Learn a variety of basic stitches, including the straight stitch, the back stitch, the zigzag stitch, and the basting stitch. Invest in a sewing machine. As your sewing skills improve, consider buying a sewing machine of your own. You will probably be glad that you did. Fixing garments and creating projects from scratch will both be much easier if you learn to machine sew as well as hand sew. Sewing is not the only lost skill worth learning, of course. There is a wide range of other crafts and domestic abilities you can explore. You do not need to master all of them, but picking one or two you'd like to become great at can improve your standing as a domestic goddess. Potential areas of interest could include gardening, crocheting, or knitting. You could also check out community craft websites, like Pinterest, to get more ideas. You can learn a lot by teaching yourself, but sometimes, the best way to learn a new skill or to advance an old one is to take an actual class on it. Look for cheap classes in your area or sign up for a class online.

This will create a small pouch into which you can administer the eye drops. Although convenient, it is not necessary for the drops to go into the pouch. The drops will disperse quickly across your cat's eye, so you do not have to worry about placing the drops in a particular spot on her eye. Hold the applicator tip about two centimeters (one inch) above your cat's eye. It is very important that you not touch your cat's eye with the tip. Not only would this be irritating to your cat, but it would also contaminate the tip. If you'd like, aim the tip towards the pouch you created with your thumb. It may help to rest the heel of your dominant hand on top of your cat's head. This will allow you to have a steady aim of the drops and prevent you from accidentally touching your cat's eye with the applicator tip. Place the bottle cap to the side on a clean surface. Squeeze the bottle and quickly dispense the prescribed number of eye drops into your cat's eye. Be careful not to dispense more than the prescribed amount. If both of her eyes need to be treated, repeat the same procedure to put drops in the other eye. If your cat seems restless and refuses to be still, consider trying again later when she is more calm. You do not want her moving around so much that you can't get the drops into her eye.
