I thought about sewing my own clothes but can’t find good fabric.
I’m not much of a garment maker but the stuff in the stores is so awful even my pitiful attempts might be passable now.
You can still find good fabric, but you usually find the best now in online stores, where you can’t really feel it and be sure of the color.
There just aren’t enough women sewing anymore to make quality fabric stores viable in brick-and-mortar form. The ones doing well seem to be quilting supply stores.
In DC, we had G Street Fabrics for years (which I recall as G Street Remnant), but it eventually moved out to Rockville, in Maryland. At least the last time I was there about 10 years ago, it was still a fabulous place; but there aren’t many like it left.
I could sew, if I had a machined, I guess; even know how to make French seams, but since I’m now buried in the boonies, I wear slacks; old ones at that, but still in good condition.
