Clothing really is a thing we have an overabundance of and you can very easily dress yourself with affordable thrift store items or even donations. Of course sewing can help getting more out of it, but it‘s not exactly a cheap alternative. Refurbishing interior or even simple electric devices like lamps is pretty easy to learn though and a very useful life skill precisely because we throw away so many things that still have value to others.
I told my parents that by learning to refurbish old things and learning skills like how to sew my own clothes, I was actually gaining necessary skills
They still think I was joking
