  Clothing pill remover?

  [I use this shit from Wawak](https://www.wawak.ca/garment-finishing-and-packaging-supplies/clothing-care-products/lint-removers/steel-blade-fabric-comb-7-x-6/#sku=bh12). I can't say it's professional, but it does the job.

  Has everything we buy reduced in quality over time? Has anything increased in quality or stayed high quality and durable?

  Okay sorry to derail the post so much but I love shopping for fabric and talking about shopping for fabric. heads up I'm Canadian so all of my favourite stores are in Canada, but because of the currency exchange it's basically a discount if you live in the US I think. This is where I shop for my own clothes in the highest quality that I can afford, not "setting up a business account and ordering a whole bolt from Europe" type places. I make mostly dresses, jeans, leggings, bags and T-shirts so this may or may not be super helpful. Fabric stores: Blackbird fabrics - They have very high quality fabrics, and tend to be more expensive. Right now they're not stocked up after boxing day but they get really cool denims, sometimes from Japan and deadstock from the USA. Their linen is top quality, but sometimes you can find the same thing at dressew for 2$ less a m. I've made skirts with nice wool suiting from here. Dressew: general fabric store, and they have some deadstock. Website is admittedly not as good as the store and they're also a little low on stock right now because they are trying to move and just had a huge sale. I like to buy linen for making dresses here. Pure linen envy: affordable linen. I don't consider it the very highest quality since when you wash and dry you'll notice more lint than with a $30/m linen and it softens faster. Still makes really nice clothing. True Deadstock Our Social Fabric - the best! My favourite thing I've bought here is merino jersey, the nylon blend and the 100% merino both make amazing garments. I also love them for cotton knits and waterproof raincoat fabric. Fabcycle - more variety of deadstock, I honestly don't shop here as much but I've heard it's all true deadstock Supplies wawak and cleaner's supply. I find their selection of Buttons and zippers really useful. They have some higher quality items than what you'll usually find available in stores, I recommend the Italian zippers and corozo buttons, and their selection of threads has everything I need for home and then some.
