Historically it is, nearly everyone had to know how to sow since not being able to meant you wore clothes with holes everywhere, unlike today where most people throw clothes out with a few millimeter holes
Cloth weaving was the 2nd largest industry for most of human history, just after farming. Everyone did it. Ship sails took an absurd number of hours to create. From farming the raw material, to spinning it into thread, to weaving that thread into sails, it could take tens of thousands of total hours of effort for a single sail.
Sometimes I think about that old spanish naval flag, that bitch is absolutely humongous. I wonder how many hours of work that one took, including the pigment making.
