Well, in alt-verse (Tempus, Anyone?) Lois *buys* a ski suit and dyes a pair of leather boots. Not quite the same effort that Martha puts in during the Pilot. How she duplicated the S-crest on alt-Clark's cape, I have no idea. Basically, she can sew, because she makes alt-Clark's cape (or alters a cape she bought for him to use). Maybe the only sewing she actually did was attaching the S-crest onto the ski suit. I could see that taking her all night.
I could see the argument that ensues between Clark and Lois though, should she ever volunteer (insist) that she sew (fix) one of his suits. I'm covering my eyes already for the train wreck that will happen.
