And sewing doesn't have to be hard. I liked learning from this book, and have made dresses, pants and tops: https://a.co/d/2YIO05X
Elizabeth Zimmerman taught me (via video) how to knit, and I've made scarves, hats, fingerless gloves and sweaters. Her books are still available, and of course there isn't anything you can't learn via YouTube.
The real danger is falling into the rabbit hole of finding good fabric (please not Joanne's just no), then deciding to just weave your own.... π€ͺ
Deciding to weave my own sounds like something I would do. π€£ Fortunately Iβm a member of a maker space so I have access to a lot of resources through there.
well if you're looking for someone to warn you off that cliff, I am not that one π
I feel like it would be so easy for me to go from Iβd like to weave my own fabric to my sheep dog needs more activity so Iβm suddenly raising sheep and probably growing cotton too. π€£
ha! Yes! Are you familiar with Tasha Tudor? She grew her own flax, spun and wove it into cloth, then sewed up her own shirt (by hand would be my guess). As I recall, once was enough for her π
I actually had a goat once named Tasha in her honor π
π€ why not JoAnnβs?
I just don't like them. Colors fade pretty fast for one reason, and after all that time sewing I want my clothing to last.
