![]() Usually, I just buy one new piece of clothing at a time that I then make into a new outfit with other pieces of clothing that I already owned. I rarely buy a lot of new clothes at once. Unflattering fitting room lights, always picking the wrong size clothing, queuing for hours before you can actually try on that one pair of clothing that looked cute on the rack. I’ve hated going shopping for as long as I can remember. Luckily for my wallet and my ecological footprint, I rarely go out to buy clothes. So in my efforts to become a more sustainable person I took up a sewing class at the end of last summer. ![]() ![]() As much as I like cool clothing that makes me feel good, I hate spending money on something that is cheaply produced that I know for a fact I will only wear for one season or so. However, my interest in clothing and ‘style’ never decreased. I just thought it came down to being able to draw designs on characters. I never really considered that in order to be a fashion designer you’d have to be able to sew. As if there’s no way of actually achieving them. One of those dreams that you’ll have but they never actually seem plausible. It’s one of those childhood dreams like becoming a professional football player, a pop star, or an actor that once you grow older you realise they might not be entirely realistic (if you don’t have the proper motivation to pursue them that is). When I was younger I had dreams of becoming a fashion designer but I had no real game plan so I never pursued them. © Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer by Casper David Friedrich
