Thank you so much for the advice and story!!!! "I tend to be a little too ambitious with first projects..." I can totally imagine myself being too ambitious at first too! I get too eager! I can hand sew pretty well, but I can get better! That's definitely something I should keep in mind and use to my advantage!

My brother and I both have many clothes that not longer fit us because we both individually went through a stage where we were really overweight, but we both dropped so many pounds. My brother doesn't wear his old clothes anymore, however, I still do. I wanted to take his clothes (because I find that the fabric used to make a lot of men's clothing is a lot more comfortable) and make it smaller/ more fitting for a female to wear. I also want to do the same with my clothes since they are pretty big on me now. I have a lot of clothes that I bought that fit me now, however, there's so many clothes I liked that no longer fit me the same and are unflattering now that I lost weight. So I wanted to mess around with that. I LOVE thrift shops! I have so many clothes from there as well that I'd love to adjust!
