Noooooo my favourite hoodie is developing holes along the sleeve seams...

I love this hoodie so much

and it's one of my few articles of outerwear that was still intact...

Oh no...is it something you could stitch or is it the material getting threadbare?

It's threadbare. It's... a bit old

It's my newest hoodie. But it's still at least five years old.

... maybe closer to ten.

Alas

It's my Dark Brotherhood Hoodie

this hoodie

Ahh it's a nice one. Can you get another one like it?

Nope. Not sold anymore.

Ugh, that is the worst.

I don't have a lot of clothes I really like. And I don't like spenidng money. And I like spending money on clothes less. >_>

I feel you on that. I struggle to find clothes that fit me well because I'm really short/small built for a guy so when I find something I like, I tend to wear it until it has literally fallen apart

But also, because I don't like to spend money on clothes, I don't go to shop in the fancier specialty shops that would maybe carry the less common sizes. I go to like...tkmaxx and roll the dice lmao

I think I've talked my dislike of my body before. And the complication re: clothes and stuff that arise form it

You've indicated in broad terms, yeah. Clothes are just a pain and it's always very sucky seeing something on the rack and then trying it on and being like...oh, that's a piece of fabric that collided with my physical form...poorly

In slightly less broad terms: Most days I can't stand my body. it's too curvy and round and bulgy. Some days, I don't mind. Mostly, I'm resigned to it. clothes shopping forces me to look at and engage with it visually.

Bodies are such a struggle, one way or another. I devote a lot of time and energy to trying to maintain a body I will be...relatively less displeased about, but there's always something that persists.

I remember Darian Leader making this remark about the supposed "jubilant satisfaction" that the infant gets upon seeing its reflection in the mirror like "idk anyone who looks in a mirror and feels jubilant satisfaction" most of us look in a mirror and feel something closer to some point of visceral dissatisfaction.

But, that's why I am sad that my fav hoodie is getting holes and I dn't want to find a new one.

Omg!!!! I want that hoodie so bad! I’m so sad that it’s getting holes!

I am trying to work out if I could pattern it.
