"It is much cheaper to buy clothing though."
Not really, Mama. Not if you compare like to like.
Sure, if you compare the quality goods coming off your machine with the cheap crap coming from a Taiwanese sweatshop, the Chinese stuff is cheaper. But if you go someplace where the materials and workmanship are the equal of what you make I doubt you can buy it cheaper.
That's the one thing we seem to have lost, lately. The ability (or maybe just the desire) to differentiate cost from value. Hell! That's what keeps Walmart in business.
