Making your own clothes is becoming more and more popular. In the early 20th Century, it was a necessity for poorer families as it was the cheaper option but, in modern day UK, it has become a much loved hobby for some and a call to arms for others with many choosing to make their own clothes instead of supporting the fast-fashion industry that is so prevalent on today’s high street and online. In order to make your own clothes, you will need to have some space – for your sewing machine, your fabrics, your sewing equipment. Our Self Storage Houghton Regis will be able to help you make space. 

Within this article, we are going to dive deeper into why more people are choosing to make their own clothes and how our self storage Houghton Regis will help you make space to do so. 

Why Are So Many People Making Their Own Clothes? 

Many people, particularly young people, are choosing to make their own clothes. The consistent popularity of shows such as The Great British Sewing Bee, which debuted in 2012, have certainly played a part but many people are also wanting to be more sustainable with their choices. 

Making your own clothes allows you to not have to buy items from fast fashion retailers, where clothes are made and sold cheaply because they are viewed as being disposable. The fashion and textile industry is the third most polluting sector globally after food and construction, accounting for up to 5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, according to a 2021 report by the World Economic Forum. Low-cost fashion retailers are regularly criticised for their waste and pollution, as well as the pay conditions imposed on their workers.

Many younger people are choosing to make their own clothes so they no longer have to give money to any companies that aren’t sustainable. 

Making your own clothes is also a creative outlet where you can make clothes that fit you perfectly and that are in your style and unique. Getting started can be expensive, with the need to buy a sewing machine and all the fabrics, but making your own clothes quickly proves to be cost-effective as you can make clothes that are high quality and durable so they will last for years to come. In the end. You will end up spending less on clothing than you would by purchasing ready-to-wear clothes.
