Thanks Debs. I was about to say, maybe it's a difference between US and
UK - there is so much less sewing done here overall. I still boggle at
the memory of finding fabric by the yard in WalMart in Connecticut!
Adapting and decorating I can believe, making accessories from scratch,
but for most people actual dressmaking is so ... girly!

Never was a goth myself, but had lots of goth friends (and still have a
few!). Most of them wouldn't be caught dead making their own clothes -
adapting
maybe, but not actually making.
There was a healthy band of good cheap 'alternative' clothing shops in
Newcastle and the surrounding area, and a few in Leeds, near where I went to
college.
That said I always made my own clothes - and occasionally bits for friends -
largely cos I couldn't afford to buy new clothes.
Adapting stuff from charity shops was always popular though!
