The ill-fitting and worn-out hand-me-down robes were one minor thing that really bugged me when I re-read these books as an adult. I understand they didn't have enough money to buy new robes for every kid, but you're going to tell me that Arthur Weasley could illegally enchant a car to fly and Molly Weasley could knit 7-8 sweaters a year, but neither of them had the time or ability to magically mend and alter some robes??

I agree. It seems like there would have been spells to restore things to better condition or to extend the length of the robe/sleeves.

I agree, but IMO, this is an example of the world building details where Rowling has failed to really think it through. I've said this long before she outed herself as a crazy TERF - she has some good ideas, but her writing has always been rather untidy and mediocre. It's great as a framework for fanfiction, but the canon itself is lacking.

Yes, I wondered this when I first read it and every single time I reread, it'd stick out even more and more. Molly Weasley seemed quite good at magic and she was very skilled in homemaking. Like, if she can knit sweaters, she'd be a good enough seamstress to alter old clothes or create new clothes from old fabrics.
