Many people who could buy an $8 blouse at Wal-Mart, just want something
much better quality and more stylish--and they enjoy sewing.

I agree Fran.
I hate buying clothes at Wal-Mart, and no longer support the store. I
bought some pants and a blouse there once, and they fell apart after only a
few months of basic use. Pathetic. It's bad enough I can't find anything to
fit me as a plus sized person, but I would expect clothes to last longer
than a few months.
But that's what we've become, a throw-away society. Companies expect us to
buy something and throw it away after a short period of time, and that's sad.
Thankfully, I learned how to sew from my Mom long ago, and I've gotten to
sewing more and more of my regular clothes, not just for fun, but because I
want something that will fit all of me, and last longer.
