Making clothes as a Skill

I think it would be excellent to have another use for string, thread, fabric and fiber beyond making furniture.

Another category of clothing could be added to those already present:
free, for all
free, for subscribers
credit cost to purchase, for all
credit cost to purchase, subscriber only
homespun

Homespun would be a simple basic solid color article of clothing you could make. Each article would be very simple, as opposed to the very ornate stuff you normally see in clothing. It would be possible to dye it when you made it yourself, using a simple palette swap.

This stuff could be very expensive in terms of energy and materials to make. It would be limited in scope as well - not as much expression as available in the normal clothing range. But I think it would be a fun skillset to have. It could be possible to add a sewing machine to the gadgets gamut for the sake of making clothing.
