I used to make most of my clothes when I was a teen. The only thing I've sewn in years was masks at the start of the pandemic, but one of my future goals is to sew some new clothes for me. So much of what is available now is poor quality, I could make some simple but classic things like bias cut skirts that would look good and last forever.
What I'm doing is altering thrifted clothes. I buy high quality brands and then tailor them to fit me. If the neckline is good on a shirt then all I have to do is take in the sides and/or hem them. Dress pants at thrift stores tend to be dated so I turn wide leg pants into straight.
My goal is to be able to take some hideous 80's dress and turn it into a skirt or something. lol
