So, #introduction post since I've just created a new account!
I'm Morgan Lemmer-Webber, I'm interested in the social history of women and textile production in the Roman Empire.
I do most imaginable textile crafts. Right now I'm making a lot of clothes due to an allergy to synthetic fabrics. Expect lots of posts about making socks and other garments.
I am the co-host of the podcast FOSS and Crafts
I am the Executive Director of the @wha
Expect more pictures of cats and crafts than of me.

it also has a few practical advantages (and some practical disadvantages), but it's so much fun!

The thing about making your own clothes is that it doesn't *need* to be practical. You can make yourself one or two staple garments that you wear in rotation, you can make yourself costumes, you can make a couple of "fun" or "fancy" things and call it quits. It's not an end sum game, just start doing what feels fun and exciting.
If you're interested, you should definitely try it though
