Whether it’s taking in the waist, making shorts from pants, or something entirely new, how do you like to hack up your wardrobe?

I picked up sewing during the pandemic and now I hardly ever buy new clothes; I just sew them. The exception is jeans; I haven’t been brave enough to try them yet.
So jealous, I have a sewing machine but my “skills” are very basic, however I’m planning on upping my game soonish when I have more time, that plus knitting and crotchet
I just want quality well designed clothes that last and look somewhat decent on me
Totally! I’m pretty frugal (cheap) so I don’t often spend a whole lot on fabric, but I ask for nice stuff as gifts and that works great. One of the reasons I always wanted to learn is because I’m short waisted and I found that store-bought clothes often have seams or belts in the middle and look awful on me. So now I can choose patterns that elongate my torso (or modify them to remove the seam).
I’ve learned a lot via the school of YouTube, after taking a single beginner’s class. The class helped me get comfortable with the machine.
