Although it’s nothing new to folks who have lived frugally on the clothing side, altered and tailored clothing represents the potential for great creativity and demand for those skills in a more sustainable economy. I’ve never learned to sew, and it’s something I could have but did not demand to learn as a child. Sewing class anyone?
