There is a lot of talk about Sustainable Fashion and many of You are getting your closets ready to follow this trend. Because clothes have become so cheap, some of us no longer care as much about quality. We just buy new garments when the ones we have lose their shape or appeal. And you and I have had the experience of buying expensive clothing or pair of shoes and facing the disappointment when two months later, they already look old or have holes in them. At the start of this year I decided to start creating some me-made outfits all because I just did not find any good fitting garments I loved. So, I have not purchased any ready to wear clothing since, but I have purchased fabrics.
Same is true for cheap fabrics . . you get what you pay for! But, since I was just starting over on my sewing journey, I did not want to spend tons of money on fabrics, because more than likely I was going to mess up some stuff. This held true so many times already and a few of the garments made were not wearable for me. Only two items were good enough to go to Goodwill, the others are now cleaning rags. Now, if I had purchased expensive fabrics it would have been difficult to toss the items.
