Daily Prompt: Sewing Skills Wanted!

Daily writing prompt

What skill would you like to learn?

I would like to learn how to make my own clothes. As a larger lady, it is incredibly difficult to find clothing that fits well. Even though more shops are stocking larger sizes, the shape and cut of the garments – and sometimes the ridiculous and highly unnecessary amount of skin exposure – still makes them unsuitable. Pattern-cutting and sewing skills would give me choice and control over what I wear, improve my appearance, and drastically reduce my clothes-related shopping stress. This definitely has to go on my to-learn list!
