+I think that most people in this room care about running Freely licensed
+software on their computers.
+
+Some probably would also like, when possible, to use Freely licensed
+hardware, or to enjoy Freely licensed art.
+
+And then there are very few people who decided that they'd prefer to
+wear DFSG-Free clothing.
+
+If you make your own, it's not that different from software: you get a
+pattern, the source code, and compilation instructions. The compilation
+procss is a bit manual, but there are a lot of people who enjoy that.
+
+It doesn't have to be sewing, it can be knitting, crochet, any craft
+that can be used to build something that you wear and has patterns or
+other kinds of source code. I'd say that a certain tartan also
+qualifies.
+
+If you're interested in the idea, these are the places I know of that do
+FreeSoftWear: two are personal websites, included mine, freesewing is a
+community and an online platform to design patterns.
+
+And debian has some useful software, including valentina, for sewing
+patterns, and kxstitch for cross-stitch and other counted thread embroidery.
