I'm grabbing every favourite piece of clothing I have around the house and mending it with a needle and thread
I'm not very good at it, but it's not terribly hard to close up broken seams good enough for some use. It sure as heck beats buying a new pair of jeans for $70 just because I somehow destroy the crotch every year
I'm finding this to be really satisfying and relatively easy to do. Certainly I can develop better stitching technique and use better tools and material, but it's easy enough to be good enough, or so it seems to me now
Yeah stitching seams is surprisingly easy and has a rewarding feeling. I'm still using the same two shitty nylon grocery bags I got like 4 or 5 years ago, I only stitched the seams in a couple of places and they still do the job perfectly.
I also started stitching the holes on my underwear because who the fuck cares how your underwear look.
I haven't made any womens style underwear yet but I've made men's style. Sew like a man is where I get my patterns. The owner also makes how to videos that go with his patterns.
