Never been into fashion?

Me either, but weird thing. I was recently struck with the half-serious idea to make some of my own clothes because I got to thinking about things I want my clothes to do and how they should look, but literally NOBODY makes clothes that way. Maybe I should? Couldn't hurt I guess.

I used to sew many of my clothing items, I could customize with stitching, embroidery, select fabric colors and patterns that I wanted.

@cherokeepatti Have kind of weird inspiration. I went on a super-long hike, weeks long, and my outer clothing was actually too long for my limbs. Though I tried to roll them up and things, they kept coming back down and they started wearing out at the ends of course. Weird thing, the pattern in which they wore out was really, really cool to me. They're among my favorite clothes now.

Yeah, you know what? To heck with it. I'm going to start drawing up some designs. I like being creative. Can't be as weird as what passes for high fashion in some of those cat-walk shows.

@Xuan12 Yeah that's what I liked about sewing, you could lengthen or shorten items to suit your own body size.
