I'm lucky enough to be near a thrift store that has [mostly men's] merino and cashmere sweaters...which I can recut to fit me. Mmmm, affordable luxuries, better made and 90% cheaper that buying women's cashmere sweaters at the store. I also grabbed some lovely jeans, my last trip there. (I prefer thrift store clothes for ethical and cost reasons.)

Odd list of fixit things I've done: bike maintenance, recurring shirts, making quilts, making masks (2020), fixing and tailoring clothes, removing broken parts from kids toys, fixing my cat's to after I accidentally broke it, making elastic bands out of old pantyhose, fixing up an old granny-cart, making a portable 'lantern' out of a flashlight, fixing old flip-flops with cut up inner tubes, making a cheapo first aid kit (including scrounged household stuff), making a bandage waterproof with duct tape, recycling scrap paper into homemade index cards, make planters out of empty plastic bags, make your own printable resources 'cause buying 'em all is to expensive...
