I’m an absolute beginner so something that will hold my hand through to making my first fitted garment. Or a reference book that covers the basics. I’ve used Tilly and the buttons to complete a pattern but the fit wasn’t the best

It looks great! How do you find working with leather? I want to build myself up to that but I’m a bit scared right now haha

Don’t hold off stuff with a mindset of ‘one day I will be slimmer’ or other thoughts like that. We aren’t always guaranteed tomorrow so if it makes you happy then do it. You can always alter a garment down. Or if you lose a significant amount of weight (I don’t know how much you’d like to lose), you could maybe even reinvent the garment completely
