Making clothes. My work clothes are all homemade from $1/yard fabric, since I wear something closely resembling scrubs and they don't need to fit like a glove. (My sewing skillz are good but not bespoke-seamstress level.)

Mending clothes. How many times have I found stunningly expensive (pure silk, etc.) clothes discarded to Goodwill with missing buttons? For the cost of a card of buttons, I had a new blouse. I also darn socks, which with prices these days I don't know how anyone can afford NOT to.
