greenstormI don't think a single piece of clothing from eight months ago fits me anymore, and my body has significantly changed shape so even types of clothing fit me worse (or better, but there's a learning curve there that requires $).
It's kind of interesting to have body function, body adornment/sensory stuff, and who touches my body to all change at once, and to all change by sweeping everything off the table, as it were.
I had a lot of memories tied up in my clothing. Because I hadn't changed size too much through my thirties I had layered memories into things I had owned for a decade or more, all sorts of people and places those clothes had been with me. A lot of it was given to me because I had a kind of idiosyncratic style so people would offer things to me instead of throwing them out, and those bits would be associated with that person thinking of me.
I have a nice fabric stash ready to go but haven't been able to think my way through the spatial complexity of sewing lately, plus some of the weird bits like suiting needle to various knits. Making my clothes always helped in the past with clothing comfort, both physically and emotionally, and I'm hoping it can do so again. I think I'll still need to seek out some memories to layer into them though. I wonder what that will look like?
