one small tip is to get a piece of scrap fabric and draw different shapes on it (both straight and curved) and practice sewing them until you are able to keep them steady/consistent and on the lines. it makes sewing with a pattern a lot easier! :)

Darning Loom
I’ve been really into decorative mending this year and I’m trying to learn how to repair more of my clothes rather than buying replacements. My thusband got me a handheld darning loom. I’m going to get some thread and try patching up a shirt tomorrow.

sewing your own clothes -or- learning how clothes work
it’s easier than it seems if u get a pattern and take ur time. clothes are constructed in such specific ways that once u know why something does what it does ull be able to find off the rack stuff that you like so much easier just by seeing how it’s built. plus then you can also more easily repair ur stuff! it‘s a crucial skill n it’s wild how many people dont know how what theyre wearing was sewn
