I do a lot of mending. 

Or changing clothes into something else. 

This started as a dress. 

The skirt ripped so it became a slip. 

The fabric shrank so the neckline would not hide anymore. 

I changed the straps and lowered the cleavage to make it a slip again.

I now have a workable slip.  I do think about seeing if I can find similar fabric and make another summer dress.  I like the bright orange of the flowers on the dark blue background.  I also admit that I do not really wish to leave the house to go shopping. 

And I have enough clothes.  I can modify what I have into something else.  I have a scarf that I am eyeing to make a beach dress.  Something a little breezy, a little little that I can throw over a swim suit.

Traveling again next week. Which means I cannot go surfing.  But my newly painted truck is ready and the state park I like is open.  Maybe when there is surf I can actually go.
