Do you make your own clothes?

I do make my own clothes every now and then, when I am feeling creative and have the materials etc. I used to make a lot of clothes, bags etc to sell at the local weekend markets, so my dad bought be a lot of stuff then and even a new sewing machine. I know absolutely nothing about the technical side of clothes-making, I just pulled apart a lot of my own old clothes and learnt the patterns and techniques from them. I do have a few books and patterns now, though, that I have accumulated from friends and family. Sometimes I just like to modify plain clothes - like a plain white singlet top, and I sew lace over it, tie-dye it etc. I love making and modifying my own clothes. It's inexpensive and fun!

Even if I knew how I still don't think I would, who has the time for that anymore.

No i do not make my own clothes. I am not in to tailoring. I normally buy readymade garments or get them stiched from a proper tailor. I do mend my clothes if some minor is needed to set them right. If there is some major work to be done i would rather pay for the job.

no,i didnt.i always bought my clothes in the department st0re or in ukay-ukay,but ukay-ukay is m0re cheaper.you can get nice clothes but in a lower price.:)

When I made it to eighth grade I was so excited I got to take home economics and learn to sew. I aced the cooking part, which was just as well, but when it came to sewing I was hopeless. I had to have my sister rescue my final project and I squeaked by with a c. Several years later my friend and I decided that it couldn't be that hard and set off to make a couple of skirts. It was a complete disaster. I didn't even try again until I was well into my thirties and I bought a portable sewing machine and was going to sew curtains! I couldn't even get the machine threaded and ended up hand stitching curtains. They are just horrible! So ends the chapter of sewing in my life time. I will always be in awe of those who can sew their own clothes.
