Im helping people at my son's dojo with sewing but dont know how to sew the sections where the ties are. The pins outline where the tie is sewn to.

I was really disappointed when the image here turned out to be ai generated, since I was hoping to buy the jacket. I've never sewn before, but with enough dedication is it possible? Since the image is fake I'm not sure. I have access to a few basic sewing machines and tools which is why I wanted to try.

So I really want to make myself a halloween costume this year. And I know, I probably should have started sooner.

I really want to do a risque team rocket grunt from Pokemon Go and I drew up this design as a concept.

HOW can I possible achieve this?? Taking any and all tips!!

Also considering thrifting. I already have the boots but otherwise.. Am I cooked?

Edit: I also have sheer fleece leggings for underneath!

I've sewn a few small things in the past but nothing like this. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

Sewn on white terry cloth from Michael’s, and a mix of random threads, mostly coats and Clark. I printed out graphics of hello kitty and snoopy that I edited with text and sewed over the lines on the paper with a darning foot and a straight stitch. I then removed the paper, and filled in colors…. And messed up my bobbin a lot…. And then went over the outlines with a wider stitch width! Border line shapes were purely improvised and I’m so proud of myself and how neat it came out!!! Such a thread eater but so worth it! A bday gift for my family member ♥️ to be used as coasters

i’ve been altering clothes and sewing some basic stuff for a while now, but i finally decided to take a chance and hand make my own miniskirt! I used the free pattern from coraline street! Definitely was a learning curve but i think in general it came out really nice!!

ignore the collar lolz

Hi everyone! My daughter wanted a sylveon dress for her birthday and one of my friends just happened to have a spare sewing machine. I have made this with no patterns (i used paper do draw on her how she wanted it to look like) and thank goodness it fits her because apparently I am really bad with measurements 😭 the skirt got too tight by the time I attached it so we need a bit of wiggle to get it on 🤣is there any website group or yt channel what could help me actually learn how to do this properly? It looks acceptable and she loves it but i know it could be so much better 😅

I received a sewing machine for Christmas last year but life has been lifing in the worst way so I haven’t really used it.

I have been helping plan a fantasy ball this year but didn’t start making this until last week lol so 24 total hours later with no pattern I made this! I’m super proud.

I bought a corset, made the skirt and sleeves and hand stitched appliqués on.

(I know I should have ironed the hems I was too scared to melt the fabric)
