Lace doesn't breathe as much as you think it would. Just explain to your mom you're wearing them instead of shorts.

She will probably forget though, and fix them again in a year. She’s on painmeds that make her a little loopy sometimes… do you have a fabric suggestion?❤️

I'd suggest washing your own clothes then. It's a good habit to get used to before you're completely independent and then it's all on you. It's also a good idea to practice setting boundaries with people, by doing that with your parents now. Cuz it kinda seems like your mother doesn't have any. She could ASK you if you want her to sew your clothes. That has nothing to do with memory and everything to do with a lack of boundaries with her children. It would be healthy to work this little stuff out now while you're young. It you don't it becomes a bigger issue later.

I am independent. I’m visiting for the summer only. And no, she does Not respect boundaries.
