I finally began creating clothing for my job that must last through long hours

What are some strong fabrics that are soft and still look nice?

What about a cotton twill? My one decent pair of work pants is that, and it's held up. I tried to sew a shirt once... let's just say the fabric outlasted my will to finish it.

Sounds about right, the fabric just sitting there judging you from the closet. Cotton twill is basically the patient saint of materials, waiting forever for you to get your act together. It's like that one friend who watches you start and abandon five hobbies in a year. My own half-finished sewing projects are basically a fabric graveyard at this point. The material is always ready to go, but the human spirit is weak and easily distracted by TV.

Ugh, I read somewhere that having unfinished projects around can actually stress you out. Like the fabric isn't just waiting, it's silently adding to your guilt. Maybe that's why my craft closet feels so judgy.
