/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Shirt I made for my brother out of a 50s vintage fabric. It was 22" wide and maybe 45" long? Matched it with a similar weight muslin. Had just enough fabric to match the pattern on the pockets. French seams through put and double-layer yoke.

It's absolutely possible to teach yourself to sew garments without going to school. Invest in the sewing machine, good fabric scissors, an iron and ironing board, thread, needles (both machine and hand), a thimble, and bobbins, and a good quality tailor's tape (fabric tape measure).
Then get muslin. A lot of muslin. Go to the library and check out sewing books, or look at thrift stores. Read, practice. Read, practice. Once you're comfortable with your machine, buy an easy pattern and try it out. More practice. Rinse, repeat. I'm entirely self-taught, before the advent of youtube. It mostly boils down to just trying things out and practing skills.
