Textile waste is a rapidly growing problem, and consumers must find more sustainable ways to meet their wardrobe needs without creating endless mountains of clothing waste. One important step toward sustainability is treating clothing as valuable rather than disposable. However, there is not a comprehensive model for value in clothing. People who make their own garments through sewing, knitting, or weaving may have a unique perspective on the value of clothing because they are both producers and consumers of clothing. This study explores the practices of home garment makers throughout the clothing consumption process from creation or acquisition to use and maintenance and eventual disposal. The objective is to understand how home garment makers value clothing through their garment making and use practices. The study contributes to existing knowledge in the domains of craft practice, slow fashion, and sustainability.Fifteen adults who had made at least five garments for themselves were interviewed for the study and asked to share three to five of their handmade garments during the interview. Their responses reveal that clothing has three intersecting types of value: Aesthetic, Physical, and Emotional. Through many aspects of their making practices, participants create, maintain, and acquire value in both their handmade and purchased garments. This focus on clothing value leads home garment makers to keep and maintain their garments for many years. Their awareness of the time and effort involved in making clothing leads home garment makers to reduce their overall clothing consumption and enjoy their handmade garments. The results suggest that increased instruction in garment making methods could lead to consumers placing higher value on clothing items and thus an overall decrease in textile waste.
