ended up buying three pairs of slacks to take on a trip last month. I must
get around to making myself some modern clothes one of these days.
But why waste your precious sewing time making what you can buy? And no way
could I make a pair of lined wool slacks with fly front zipper as cheaply as
I can buy them. Materials alone would probably be almost as much, and my
time is worth SOMETHING! (As I'm not retired yet, I have to
ration my sewing
time!)
I almost never make for myself - 1. because I don't like to, and 2.
as Ann says - why waste time sewing for yourself when you can buy
cheaper (and in my case, probably better!) Also if I am making for
myself, I am not making for other people, therefore I am not earning
money. (And to anyone who suggests evenings or weekends - would you
do your weekday job in the evenings and weekend as well as in the
day? No way thank you!)
