creascendo asked: Of the clothing you made for yourself (or anyone else), which one are you proudest of, and why?

The first piece of clothing I ever sew. I was twelve and it was a circle skirt in brown cotton, patterned to look like a quilt. I made it in school and it was so difficult and I was so proud when I had finished it. I loved it and wore it constantly until I had grown too big for it.

One of these days I would love to learn how to sew and make clothes. I can barely even sew a button! But I love big circle skirts and 50s dresses, and there are so many gorgeous prints and fabrics out there - it would be amazing to just make clothes exactly to my tastes.

I went to a beginner's course when I was 18 and then I did a course in pattern making when I was 21, but mostly I'm self-taught. But like all things you learn you are slow in the beginning and when sewing you really have to pay attention to details. With that said, skirts are just about the easiest thing there is to sew, so a good thing to start with. :)
