Well I can like *make* stuff without patterning it first, but if I ever wanted to dress it up at all by putting some kind of design on it, I'm absolutely hopeless :P Tried doing it for a wedding headband once and I totally failed ><;;(Dun mades muhself a messenger bag though, 'cause all the ones in the stores were too bulky ><;; ) I've thought about starting to make my own clothes since they're so damned expensive elsewhere :P them clothing designers can't fool me, it doesn't cost $20 to make a shirt lol.

ugh! sewing! My mother used to make all of my clothes so I was a bit spoiled. I don't know what it's like in the States and Canada, but in Australia most of the clothes you buy these days are overpriced poorly made and in terrible synthetic fabrics. I buy most of my clothes from op-shops (goodwill type places). I don't make clothes from scratch. my mum has tried to teach me but I have zero patience for it. ironic as I can sit for hours and hours and make intricate wired jewellery or hand stitching a leather bag. My clothes sewing skills only extend themselves to changing or adding to some of my op-shop finds. (e.g adding embellishment, slashing seams and adding panels, turning skirts into dresses etc.)I admire anyone who can sew clothing. or use a sewing machine. I have one but it hates me.

The one you have might not be good/strong. I have a cheap little table top one that works okay, but I really need my great-gram's industrial monolith one if I want to do anything serious :P (btw, definitely using THAT one and not the table top one for my wedding dress ;) teehee). I used to hand sew everything, but the machine isn't really that bad; it's just threading the bobbin and needle that I hate -_- otherwise it makes normal sewing so much faster (and less painful on the fingers lol)
I envy you for being able to do wire jewelry :P
