I had the same thought the other day when I saw the wood pants (just thinking about that still cracks me up). Art to some, and as long as it's not going to land fill. There are still literally millions of beautiful machines and cabinets out there. It's just a fact that people are likely never going to need to sew their own clothing ever again in first world countries. It's something of a trend now that some people are learning to sew but there are still millions of machines that will never be usable. It's why we all have many of them and generally pay next to nothing (sometimes exactly nothing - that's the right price) or a fraction of their value new.

There'll always be more, so I'll just take a deep breath and turn away when I witness such crimes
