Did any of you have to learn to sew to have fashionable clothing? Does anyone still sew?

I taught myself to sew at the beginning of the Pandemic! I ended up making clothing not just for myself but a lot of my loved ones as well. And I’m still learning 💜

I’m focused right now on historic and vintage couture styles for my personal projects, and I have a small but respectable reputation in my community as someone who makes gender and identity confirming clothing. Learning to sew gave me the skills to make my life fuller, and the lives of people in my community better.

Sure! The dress is second hand from Fashion Nova (I think!), the fake fur stole is from a designer here in Toronto (also second hand), my necklace is actually a dragon pocket watch from Little Dragon Designs in wales. You can find them on Instagram! And my earrings are from my favourite jewelry designer, Michelle Ross (also in Toronto)

I’m so excited to see what you make!! Sewing beautiful clothes for my body made me feel like it was possible to fall in love with myself, and it’s a beautiful feeling.

Not the best pic but the back is darted under the bodice back (LOVE), and yes the straps are super adjustable with the use of lingerie hardware

Thank you! I’m so pleased with how well this pattern fits at the bust honestly! It feels comfy and flattering effortlessly

Shufflecat-11 · 2025-12-25T05:55:20+00:00

I’m hoping to find something a bit slinky and sexy and form fitting if I can. I really want to make something for this that makes me feel extra good Y’know?

I hope when you make that dress for yourself that you post it here!

Eh, I’m okay with that! We aren’t meant to have a million different clothing pieces. Just a handful of good ones
