WARNING: making your own clothes is highly addicting! You won’t be able to go back to wearing store bought clothes the same way ever again. Not to mention how great it feels to be in public receiving boat loads of compliments on your new threads! There is nothing better than being able to say, “Thank you, I made it!”
