Thank you for such an insightful article! I am bringing more ease into my life this year by not purchasing any unnecessary clothing from a store, and trying to make clothing myself. Since I don't go to a classroom anymore to work, my need for clothing is not as great as it used to be, and therefore I can spend the time to sew the things I want to wear and that I will like to wear without any pressure. This morning, I had to make a trip to a shopping mall, and as I browsed through the corridors looking at all of clothing sales, I went in to some supposedly high fashion stores. The fabrics used were just cheap and the workmanship on most of the clothes was very shoddy. It reminded me exactly why I sew: to wear the looks, the fibres and styles I want instead of feeling that other people are forcing their choices on me. I find comfort in having control over that aspect of my life. Let's maintain those positive directions in 2025!
I'm in a similar position in a way, because I have a lot of clothes that are for a former life where I lived in a city and went to an office to work every day. Not the case any more!
