AYRT

You, nonnie, are amazing! This is honestly incredibly thoughtful and helpful and I really appreciate it. Oddly, I know how to sew and have multiple sewing machines and make my living with textiles but I’m hopeless when it comes to sewing clothing. But you’ve actually given me a fab idea of just practicing altering and decking out old clothes. We’re snowed in so tomorrow is a perfect day to get started. Thank you again, nonnie!

AYRT—I caught one, I caught one! Heh. My job has zilch to do with sewing and my skill level is... well, I pulled a lot of "B- for effort" in sewing classes over the years. And I don't even enjoy sewing, only having a costume at the end.

If I can cosplay, so can most anyone.

If you know how to sew and have machines (plural) you're further ahead than I was starting out, and maybe even today.

Other maybe useful stuff—get a couple seam rippers and don't be afraid to use them.

Make mockups out of old sheets.

If you can find tops with darts (so probably not knit/stretchy fabric) practice moving the dart opening(s) around.

If you are in the US, keep an eye out for Joanns pattern sales; you can get paper patterns for cheap.

If you get to the point where you want a dressmaker's dummy, look up duck tape dummies and have someone (you trust!) wrap you in duck tape over a couple of old shirts, cut the outer shirt and tape carapace off, stuff it, and hang it up.

Good luck and enjoy the snow!
