i like to think im a pretty creative person and ive always wanted to make my own clothes. something no one else is wearing. i like the idea of that.

but i dont know exactly how to go about doing this.

there used to be a thread or two with some helpful link and tips and such before the site crashed.

can anyone come up with anything?

you need a pattern
this site has some cool free ones, or you could buy from the store: i can't make the link work, just google fitz pattersm it's the first option
i don't know what your dressmaking experience is, or how advanced it is so i wouldn't know where to start with the advice.

what is it you need to know?

well i dont have much experience at all..
so i was thinking starting off with something simple like shirts..and getting prints on them..

there was this really cool site i found a link for here about a year ago.
you know those iron on print-sort-things? it had a tutorial on how to make your own prints..i dont know something like that.

i dont really know where to start. =|
but im interested in designing clothes all the same..

hmm. well okay

the first step is understanding patterns. if you want to sew something from scratch, you need a pattern for it. which you can buy at most dressmaking shops.

then you get the fabric you want. i would advise against anythign a) too stretchy or b) too shiny/silky as they are very hard to work with

do you have a sewing machine/know how to use it?
