The garments you're buying ate mass produced at a factory for ridiculously cheap. You're not a factory mass producing clothing. You're a single person and an artist. There's value in that. I don't know how much you check out the local art/artisan scene around you. Look at what people in your community are willing to pay for handmade quilts, hand blown glass, statues made of welded scrap metal, etc. You might find yourself surprised. Keep in mind though, "starving artist" exists as a term for a reason. Artisan works and art is not a get rich quick scheme. Often a lot of times these people have a very supportive and a very understanding spouse bringing in a regular 9-5 paycheck to make things work.
