I used to be shit at sewing
I barely passed my Textiles GCSE, but now I can sew pretty well. It's not that hard really, the patterns you can buy make it all pretty simple, so you should definitely give it another chance.

EDIT: I don't have any free time because it is filled with sewing, dancing and studying. But those are three things that I enjoy, so I guess you could say I do them in my spare time. I also like to eat. I'm a fat person trapped inside a thin person's body.

I'll tell on you.

hmm....well...I should definitely try to sew more, practice makes perfect, right?
but I've never seen many patterns I liked
I'd love to be able to make regency style dresses but my mong brain doesn't really work that way

sew all your tops to trousers to make it easier to decide what to wear.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 7 May 2010, 16:18, Reply)

I don't have a problem deciding what to wear

there's a simplicity pattern for a regency dress

Simplicity patterns are really good for beginners.

Wouldn't it be easier to buy one ready made?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 7 May 2010, 16:22, Reply)

where can you do that then?
most of them are made from vile velvet *shudders*
( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 7 May 2010, 16:24, Reply)

Easy buy a velvet one and simply shave it

my boyfriend is weird about velvet
luckily for him I can't sew with it, the bastard stuff always moves.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 7 May 2010, 16:26, Reply)

I think velvet is ugly.
I really don't know what my hangup is with it but I find it revolting.

Wiggy hates touching it
he said it feels like spiders.

I have a pair of velvet trousers somewhere.
Lots of people want to touch you when you wear velvet.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 7 May 2010, 16:30, Reply)

haha this is true, my friend smacked some guy at a party that tried to touch her velvet trousers
why do you have velvet trousers, you massive gay?

I wore them a bit at university

My collection of velvet coats are very tactile.
I used to have some velvet trousers but they *ahem* shrunk. Honest guv.
