I also love to shop. And clothes.
I've been sewing for over 20 years. My grandma and my mother taught me on a Husqvarna and I still have it. We have a love/hate relationship.
One day I was sitting and scrolling through clothes on a website and I realize...I'd been doubting my abilities - I had the patterns. There was a plethora of fabric stores (in person and online) that I could recreate these fashions for likely less than what they were sold for...
