I also wonder if retailers and suppliers will work to keep the prices of such things high. When I was a kid, I was one of those kids that was made fun of for having homemade clothes. Why did Mom bother? She was voluntarily out of work, and the materials were reasonably priced. If you make it yourself these days, it's because you enjoy the process, because you will pay a premium.
