The Red Carpet Highlights of... The 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival 2024!
I find making my own clothes much easier than sewing for others, because I know my body better and know exactly how I want clothes to fit me.
Id say start by making a simple dress out of a stretchy fabric, something not too complicated, or with a lot of cuts and darts and experiment with thicker fabrics first (wool, corduroy,denim), that are easier to work with than delicate ones like chiffon or silk.
@Feline & @Lovely_lethargy thank you guys I really appreciate the comment. it has kept me so warm and we're ready to storm the weather together lookin' amazing! haha
Lovely_lethargy -- i was so scared the first time i started to use an industrial machine, but practice sewing corners, curves, and straight lines. they are EXtremely important hope it helped a bit.
i was taught to draft my own patterns at school, but Ive also found useful just play with the fabric on the dressform, kind of like they do on project runway. And its a good idea to experiment with muslin or any cheap fabric before "butcher" lol, the actual fabric.
It was that expensive actually, and its one of those that change sizes, adjustable one. Bc I work with clients of different sizes it comes on handy instead of buying one of each size. You can find pretty good ones for less than 200 usd.
