RE: Dressmaking: the lazy person's guide
Cool! I wonder how hard it is to actually make your own dress. Because i’ve been thinking of making my own clothes. Looking for the right fit for me at the store has really been frustrating and i really want to make them on my own. But with no basic sewing skill at all, i’m afraid i’m just being too ambitious
Heya, to be honest in terms of skill I don't actually have much either! That's why I always improvise it haha, but you can get some really nice easy patterns for skirts and things to start off with. It's never too late to start! :)
I will definitely try to make my own dress one day. :) Do keep on posting if you are making another dress, I would love to read about it :D
you should! it's a lot of fun, definitely post if you do and send me a link! :) and I will for sure, thank you!
The best way to learn is get a sewing machine and read the manual get the readers digest complete guide to sewing book.![]

This is the best book for learning to sew. We had this book in our fashion sewing class. and I still have it and use it. It covers everything. my other recombination to you. Is to learn the way that I did on your own by lots of mistakes and no real teaching. You can try pillows but I recommend you try to make a wrap around skirt. It will get you use to sewing that you can wear and get your confidence up. I can help you with this through the wrap around skirt I made step by step. here is the links if you are interested.
Maybe this will help you get started making your own clothes.
Wow! That’s very helpful 😊 will definitely let you guys know if i start making my own clothes ☺️
Great to hear. I hope you can accomplish your goals making your own clothes. My website has a lot of helpful hints on draping and not so much sewing yet we're getting there.
I will check it out. Thanks for the info 😊
