I feel like it's one of those things that wasn't necessarily done constantly. I figure there were probably those clothes making days where they'd sit and darn old clothes while maybe working on some new ones.

I imagine a lot more clothes used to be resewn or patched and passed on down to family members rather than new ones always being made.

But I have noticed the same thing as you. People I know who practice knitting, crocheting and sewing can usually makes something pretty quickly and I guess for a lot of people if it was your only option what else arr you going to do other than get fast and good at it.
