Agree! There's a thrift store in my neck of the woods that has a monthly $6 bag day sale for clothing. I now actually buy things that don't fit, but that I can alter. And for practically free - why not? Learning skills, being creative, lots of fun.
I've enjoyed learning how to repair boots.

What kind of repairs are you doing? I've tried, fairly unsuccessfully, to sew up some boots where the seams were coming apart. Really hard to get to the toe area, where the problem was.
