How I did it: I had a few pointers from my Mom, who sewed all my clothes when I was a kid. I also took a very basic sewing class at our college, and took on several projects on my own. I am now confident that I can work out any problems I may encounter, given time and patience. The outcome is worth how you feel at completing an item alone, but the compliments you get over a unique piece of clothing make it even better!
Lessons & tips: Read. There's tons of good resources out there, from books to blogs, that will help you understand the terminology you'll find on patterns. And don't be afraid to experiment either!

my boyfriend bought me a sewing machine for my birthday. Once I read the manual I’ll be on the road to success! L
I’ve always wanted to sew my own clothes, as a way to be creative and frugal at the same time. My mom used to make some of my clothes when I was little, and my stepmom does the same for my little siblings. I know the basics of how to use a sewing machine. But, I haven’t sewn much at all since I was a teenager. I recently watched the show Gossip Girl, and I’ve been re-inspired by Jenny Humphrey to accomplish this goal. I love her style, and since I’m broke anyway….my goal is to take some classes this summer on designing, making, and fitting clothes.

I knew how to sew when I was younger, and completely dropped it. I inherited a sewing machine, and am getting ready to start up the sewing and start making my own clothes. Wish me luck!

I’m working on this.
I took fashion at school this year, and I have it this semester, so it’s great. :)

I want to be able to make my own clothes. There is nothing quite like making something yourself that gives you pride in wearing it. I’ve made one shirt and one purse in my life and they both made me very happy. I need to learn how to sew better in order to do it though.
I just got a sewing machine for my birthday and am soo excited to start making clothes. I already have some of my old clothes that don’t fit so great or are looking kinda tatty and am getting ready to start ‘re-fashioning’ them!
It takes alot of practice and a LOT of time but there is nothing like the satisfaction of wearing your custom made clothes!
