Loved Clothes Last by Orsola de Castro

I was glad to see that my library system has a couple of copies of this book, so it's on my "to read" list.

I have a long term tendency to react to artificial fabrics, and completely natural is difficult to find, so when I find clothing or fabrics I like, yes, I tend to take care of them.

I also sew for myself. This doesn't save money because cheap clothing is ridiculously cheap! However I have been gradually learning advanced tricks for altering clothing as one of the big reasons people ditch under-used clothing is that we tend to change shape as we age. Choosing styles and patterns that make it easier to adjust for temporary or long term shape changes, is a great tool to have.

Here's my thread about making a "split side adjustable skirt". Because I was upcycling the material, I had to adjust my approach compared to the videos I'd watched, but it was totally worth it.
