Have you ever thought why tailoring is not that commonly known to all? In my experience of creating clothes and teaching tailoring, I always felt that this skill brought a lot of savings and a lot of joy.
1. Every you lose or gain weight, you dont throw out your clothes. You can mend the size.
2. Any design or colour garment that is not available in the market, you can create at home.
3. Kids waste tonnes of clothes every year growing up. Learning to make kiddies clothes at home is huge savings.
Finally, there is the joy of watching your creation being worn by family or on yourself.
Life skill or not? What do you think?
