That we undervalue seamstress as a trade is quite frankly deeply enraging. The amount of math and engineering you have to do to construct garments, bags etc sure isn't "low-labour", and that's not accounting the actual sewing afterwards, which is a lifetime-skill itself to perfect.
Honestly fuck the patriarchy.
Did you know that you can extend these ridiculously small front pockets on your jeans by haphazardly attaching some scrap fabric? And that you can do a ridiculously terrible job at it, because nobody will ever see it? (except the fediverse)?
I could barely put half of my hand in there, now I can carry my phone in it.
WHY are pockets on clothes designed for females so insanely small? Make it make sense to me (is it the patriarchy? sexism? whyyy?)...

/edit: btw, the change is invisible from the outside! As long as the pocket is empty, there is no bunching or visible line anywhere. If I put my phone in there, of course you will see that I'm carrying a phone.
