@impactology @fibrearts Yes. I got a second hand sewing machine in 2018. Started with simple patterns (vintage patterns at second hand shops or free online, eg peppermint magazine) to learn skills. Indie designers (Helen's Closet) do online tutorials for the patterns & you can learn techniques. Cheap fabric secondhand. Pixelfed is pretty active with makers. Basic skills & then explore!

And completed this this weekend too. Sinclair Patterns Calypso shirt with a few modifications. THIS is the sort of everyday wardrobe stuff I wanted to make — basics in my neutrals (black, grey) with interesting details. I flipped the panels to leave the serged seams on the outside and then stitched them down, and removed the cuffs and hem band and left the sleeves extra long. It’s not quite perfect but I like it a lot. #isewmyownclothes #memadewardrobe
