Learning to make, repair and upcycle my own clothes instead of relying of badly made polyester fast fashion that doesn't fit well. Also getting my fitness up so I can bike instead of drive which is difficult because I live in an absurdly hilly area.

    Love this. I have been thinking on it myself just how rubbish most of the clothes I buy are, not to mention concerns about exploitation of the people making them.

    Is there a clothes making community here on SLRPNK? I've started to return to clothes making recently (knitting, sewing, dyeing) and would love to learn more. I'm spectacularly bad at it and it's so much fun.

    Same for mending and sewing clothing. Except I've run aground a bit on my own perfectionism. I've somehow talked myself into making a pattern block for my butt so I can make the most optimal pants and shorts, but making a block is an Ordeal with Math involved and I haven't had the bandwidth to accomplish it yet.
