#12: Sewing and Mending Your Own Clothes

In the mid-20th century, being resourceful was more than a quality – it was a necessity, evident in the popularity of sewing classes. Then, crafting your attire was not just an economic choice but a rite of passage for many, especially women. However, the art of sewing, though still cherished, has lost its edge in the realm of cost-effectiveness.

Today, the allure of fast fashion overshadows the meticulous craft of sewing. With the convenience of online shopping, a brand-new outfit is merely a few clicks away, arriving at your doorstep in record time. This convenience has rendered the traditional and time-consuming process of sewing obsolete for many, struggling to keep pace with the swift currents of modern consumerism.
