Aw thanks! :)

Sewing isnt too tough to learn, it takes a lot of patience and trial and error. I recommend mocking patterns up in cheap fabric or muslin prior to the good fabric you choose, I cant count how many nearly-finished-oh-gawd-the-size-doesnt-work pieces I have in my studio.

Try some basic patterns from places like Butterick/Simplicity before you launch into making patterns from scratch, then youll have an idea of what a pattern needs to function.

Oooh and sewing classes are always a good idea if you can find one near you. I wish Id taken more of them when I was younger.

Haha! I don't let anyone help me with anything, ever! It does work for me though, since I do everything myself I think you learn better...



Orrr you just end up not bothering xD

There are actually sewing classes that I could go to. I should probably take it up but I'll be just too busy with everything unfortunatly. Argh! There is so much stuff I want to do but I know I'll have no time! I'll have to help my teacher teach Photoshop classes, then I have driving lessons, then I have night Japanese classes, and A Levels... ;_;
