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.
