    The reason why your grandma can sew is because clothing used to be expensive AF. Look 1 from the 1970 Sears Catalog is a *very* simple shift dress for $10.97, that’s $73.62 in today’s money. Sears was the cheap store working class people shopped at, equivalent to Target todaypic.twitter.com/YP3UfcjJMS

        Up until 1979 80% of the clothing that existed in the US was made in Manhattan in Union sewing shops, and another 10% was made in the Carolinas.

        And that dress would've held up far longer than a Target dress ever will...

        Right! It’s still hanging in a thrift shop somewhere totally wearable despite being 50 years old.

        This looks right out of a Delia's catalog.

        This episode of Dressed briefly touches on the economics of making clothes at home in the 70s (and earlier!). There was a point where DIY was actually the economic way to go.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-history-of-the-paper-pattern-industry/id1350850605?i=1000490473806 …

        My grandma had 11 kids! My mom was the oldest and therefore sewed many of her own clothes and clothes for her siblings. Pretty wild to think about

        The cost to buy clothing for that many people would have been astronomical !

        And then the other takeaway there, of course, is that $74 today is only worth what $11 was in 1970.

        The cheaper they can offer us goods, the more they can flatten our wages!
