I feel sorry for women who don't have pockets - eviltoast

I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

    Fabric can be really expensive, so making stuff from scratch can add up. It’s very thrifty to repair and alter your own clothes, however. Replacing lost buttons or broken zippers, making too-large items fit better, etc.

    For really nice stuff, it’s cheaper than buying at the store. I made my wedding dress from scratch and spent maybe $300 and it took maybe 10 days to come together. Most simple garments might take 10-20 hours.
