I've decided to start making my own clothes. XD
Basically, I'm the biggest clothes whore ever to exist. I could spend thousands on clothes and I still wouldn't have enough. It's quite bad really. Anyway, I can't really afford to, and being a student I also have a fair amount of free time - so I think sewing my own clothing would be a much more economical option. Plus I did textiles in year 8/9 and really liked it. I already know how to work a sewing machine (ish. I can't do anything fancy but I can work one) so that's good.
Anyway, this weekend I bought two patterns - one for a dress and one for a skirt. The dress
looked really simple, but I read the instructions for like an hour and I was still
over it, so I tried making the skirt instead and it was quite easy. I buggered up a bit but I was only using cheap plain cotton so that's okay. I also didn't make the waistband but it can't be that hard, right?
Anyway, now I've tried making it once, I think I'm going to try it again, this time with nicer material. Wish me luck (h)
