when reading old fic I haven't looked at for years, it's like reading something by someone else
Yes, I know what you mean. Sometimes you need that distance to be able to tell what is and isn't good about something that you've done. I'm actually having this problem at the moment with the Life on Mars fic I've been poking. Bah, frustrating.
(unlike art, where you *always* remember the triggers and process for each individual piece)
Really? That's interesting. Being a non-arty person, I've never experienced that. Although maybe a bit, with music. Hmm.
Whereas clothing ... There's no grey area. Yeah, for costumes I imagine that must be true, or for something that you've followed a pattern for. You're reproducing something specific. How about for 'new' clothing, though? What if you designed and made something original?
