How to make my own clothes
It made me
Satisfied
 "It's very rewarding and very relaxing."
How I did it: I had always worked with a friend on costumes for school plays, but I was upset because I couldn't sew anything myself. I took classes over the summer and read a few books on the subject to fill in the gaps. I made a tuxedo-themed dress, a homecoming dress, a cape for a friend, and a tie for my boyfriend. I also modified some of my clothes. This is great for anyone with a really unique style; it helped me when I couldn't find the clothes I wanted in stores. I love designing clothes! :3 Lessons & tips: -If something turns out badly, don't worry, it's practice. Resources: -People at JoAnn

How I did it: I now have a whole new wardrobe consructed from things I didnt want or wear anymore. I started small and made a simple dress from an old shirt and some spare material which turned out really well... Then I made a denim skirt out of some old jeans. After that I felt really inspired to renovate everything I dont use to something I do Read how I did it…

Where to begin?
4 days ago
I’m realizing that I haven’t the faintest idea where to start, and the books I checked out sat on my shelf for weeks. I need a simple activity to launch this endeavor.
My bite-sized goal is to modify one article of clothing I already own using a sewing technique (darts or something).

Ok, so I finally finished the suspender/apron dress Ive been maing since this spring. Oroginally it was meant to be just a skirt, but I found a 40’s pattern online and decided to make it instead, all I had to do was make the suspenders and now its finished. Im not sure if I like it, but I guess its because the fabric, its cotton, but was originally bed sheets, sp its a bit thin and flowy. Im satisfied tho, and if I manage to get my hands on either a petticoat or some tulle it would look even better since its a full skirt.
Im wearing it tomorrow, sincce its the first thing Ive made that doesnt look like crap. So im well on my way to making this goal.

It would better ensure that I am not supporting sweat shops, child labor and underpaid workers. I highly disagree with all of these and there are more I could put I am sure. Also since the companies expect their riches they do not deserve any help from me in that.

I knit and crochet but want to learn to sew, also. Most of my fiber arts projects don’t go beyond accessories, but I want to expand my domain.
Benefits:
*Making anything, in contrast to our ready made culture, is practically revolutionary.
*I can combine creativity with skill building and goal accomplishment. Win win win.
*I can face my attitude toward my own body in a way that isn’t confrontational or risky, and try to improve my sense of self pride.

Dresses.
3 weeks ago
If I manage to lose the extra pounds I’m hoiking around with me, I would love nothing better than to wear dresses all the time. My predicament is my thighs. I really don’t like them. My arms I can tolerate, when a waist belt is thrown in my stomach looks flat and my waist, hips and bum look curvacious is the best way possible, but my thighs… not so much. The point is I have a difficult shape when it comes to dresses. There’s always something wrong with every dress I see and the ones that are the most visually pleasing are always the most expensive. It would be fantastic to be able to tailor a dress to fit me in all the right places in the perfect colour, perfect pattern, perfect shape and perfect length.
