Hmm, this footing seems rather slippery for some reason...

Clothes are kind of pricey, and it is sometimes hard to find ones that I really like, so to save money and make costumes I'm hoping to get more into sewing in the near future. To do that, I need fabric. So I've been looking at fabric online and I'm coming to the conclusion that fabric is also expensive. (That, or I'm not looking in the right places). This, in turn, has led me to contemplate that yarn, especially weaving yarn, is pretty cheap... and now I am thinking that maybe I could make my own fabric. But to do that I'd need a loom, and, guess what! Looms are expensive (I'm starting to see a pattern here...) On the other hand, I suspect that I've got enough woodworking skills to make a basic loom... especially if I can find the parts that aren't made out of wood...

Then, after you survive the complete collapse of society, you'll have the skills necessary to become a valuable member of the new order.

I'll brew the mead, which'll get them drunk enough to buy your clothes at an outrageous price.
