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.... πŸ€ͺ

πŸ€” why not JoAnn’s?

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.

Thanks for the tip. Where do you prefer to source fabrics you don’t weave yourself? I’d like to tell my friend a good spot because she makes incredible clothes.

I've gotten some great fabrics from Etsy sellers
