    So, this may not be the correct place for this, but does anyone know of a similar open source way I can learn knots?

        Thank you so much! I saw an app on my phone that’s called 3D Knots or something, but I would rather buy into an open source avenue that cares about sharing ideas and knowledge, so I hadn’t bought it just yet.

        I will now use this as a resource, so again, thank you so much! :)

    I guess the main benefit is clothes will potentially fit better, but isn’t the fabric still gonna be likely sourced from a sweatshop country? And isn’t it going to result in a lot of waste fabric as I cut out a template?

      That’s the phrasing of someone who loves their shoppies. The main benefit is using, honing and promoting a skill to make quality clothes for yourself and your loved ones that will be significantly removed from the chain of dumb but vicious exploitation.

        Yeah, it may not be completely exploitation free, but it’s a step in the right direction for the people with time and skills.

          That’s a very narrow segment of people though, and even for those people I would argue it’s a better use of time to just…buy fewer clothes in the first place. This sounds like a bourgeois solution for people with a sewing machine and several hours free to make clothes for themselves.

            Just like learning how to cook for yourself is a poor solution for people who live in a food desert or don’t have access to a kitchen, sure.
