/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Get a pattern, get the stuff that the pattern calls for, and just start sewing. You will make mistakes. You will learn a lot. You will improve. You will make your own clothes.
About hmmm 4 years ago or so, I said the same thing: the fashion industry sucks, this clothes is made with shoddy fabric, the prints are all stupid and will be out of style next year, it's getting super expensive to buy this shoddy clothes too; I was done with it. So I started sewing my own wardrobe one garment at a time (now granted, I've been sewing for like 18 yrs of my life--so I had a lot of prior experience before 4 yrs ago, but still: 4 yrs of consistent sewing is what I mean). Now I have pretty much exclusively only self-sewn things in my closet, with the exception of knitted sweaters (I'm not there yet) and expensive high-end traditionally classic clothing that won't ever go out of style. It is not an impossible feat. It just takes time and a bit of planning.

You don't need sewing school. Back like 18 years ago when I learned to sew, I completely taught myself without youtube, helpful websites, etc. I just got a pattern at the fabric store, got all the "ingredients" for it, and I figured it out step by step with the pattern. I made a lot of mistakes, but I learned a lot! The thing about sewing is that you just have to DO it to learn it. So if I were you, I'd get that sewing machine setup and just start sewing. Pic rel is the last dress that I made myself.
