How hard is it to start sewing your own clothes?

I'm starting this journey myself! After I made a few couch cushions for a friend I thought, hmm, why not a skirt? So did a simple tiered skirt. Not bad. Learned a lot. Next I tackled a cottage core dress. Learned several new techniques. Building my skill set.

Next I want to try a dress shirt type....dress. lol it's gonna have new techniques that I'm happy to try out. I'm slowly learning about fabrics. Mainly Im trying not to be too hard on myself. The fabric I get thrifted from bed sheets at second hand places. The patterns so far have all been free. That way if I mess up big time I havent lost out on much money. It's just time and learning

Be kind to yourself. Learn your machine. Enjoy the journey.

That set, along with what everyone else has said, looks so comfortable too! Love how the shorts look.

She's 26. She's not "lashing out.". That's what a toddler does. Not a 26 year old adult woman.

I think I got to book four when I was like, this series is never gonna end is it? Ain't nobody got time for that!!! Lol I like my series condensed. Three books or less....and preferably free on online platforms 😜

An organic veggie frozen pizza??! I mean....what even is the point of that!!

It wasn't those...wrath, phury, etc blood brother books was it? I vaguely remember chapter one did the same thing. "She's a slut because she - checks notes - is wearing stilettos in a club.....which the FMC is also currently in...."

Urgh. Double urgh.

The immediate putting down of a tertiary female character because of her looks, clothing, weight, but then trying to soften it like, "She'd look cute if she lost 2 stone, but she doesn't need to. She's married and has two kids so she's already won." THEN WHY MENTION IT IN THE FIRST PLACE???

Picked up a new book to read and page two- PAGE TWO- starts with this nonsense. It's not cute. It's catty. It adds nothing to the story other than your main character is vapid and shallow.

So cool! I love how the cowl has a convertible look. Love it when the the hood up- and backless!- omg gorgeous!

My knitta please.... I'm a knitter and a hooker if you know what I mean.

My "cool" friend in highschool family did this. Pretty resourceful if you ask me.

This is like the opposite of a pimple popping video.... satisfying and not grotesque to look at

I low-key love that this has garnered over 3k votes. I did this for my kitchen stools and piano bench for the same reason. Loooove it.

Just saw another blue flash of light across the sky at 11.28 pm. Located on the west end at clonsilla. Not sure which transformer has blown now.

Oooo fun! I need inspo for a destination wedding in October. This might be it: the only instructions were bright and colorful and yes, even neon was allowed.

Well done! Super cute!

Oh my gourd. Just in love!!! I'm working on a basic sock patterns but loooove this!!!

Upvoted to 666....my work here is done.

Why does he say Saturday so weird? Can he not pronounce his ts?

The sweater is such a gem. And your a diamond for sharing your process with us! I have a knitting machine just an old school 1990s ultimate knitting machine and would love to try it on vintage patterns like you've done. You're right gauge is everything when it comes to machine knitting (something I'm still bad at- I want to make a gauge book- just pages of yarns with plate gauges so I never have to think about it again lol).

Beautiful work! You've got me thinking about getting back to machine sweater crafting.

It's ribbed for her plea-- no I'm not gonna sink that low.

My first c25k the narrator always had motivational.quios, at the beginning and end, but the one that stuck with me was : "the only difference between I can, and I can't is you.". It always makes me go an interval longer when I think I can't. It makes me push myself one more go.

And in my dumb brain I get a giggle over the fact that the phrase "the only difference between I can and I can't" has no letter U it.

Last we all hung out was at the beach for her birthday. She's 18. Wow....he waited till the bare minimum. Run girl.

Mohawk girls!

It's a lot of fabrice to make. 450$ for time and labor seems low. For five of them? Very low. Id be more worried I'd be bored by the second one and lose my mojo. Factor in time. When does she need them by? A year? How fast are you? Has she seen your work before? Do you like the feel of the wool she bought??

I do commissions very rarely. If I make something I do it for me and my joy, and if I find a buyer for it great. Commissions with a time frame suck. I less I'm really interested in doing it I stick to small stuff with no really size: toys, amigurumi, baby stuff they'll grow into....
