making your own clothes?

Way earlier someone mentioned making a cheap fabric mockup before diving into the expensive fabric. I made a velvet dress nearly 2 decades ago but started with the lining, figured out All the tailored modifications on that before I cut any velvet.

Your right about making one with cheaper fabric first. Old sheets work well for that. Several years ago my son worked for a veterinarian. They referred to him as the minon. So for Halloween I made him a scrub like a minon

Will you help me find & purchase this wool alpaca or sheep material in this color pattern combination & find an Amish seamstress to make my robe garment ? Send me an email so I can attach pics of what I require.

Thank you

Wool or alpaca fabric purchase robe

I think you can save money if you want your clothes to be made of natural fabrics.
For example Linen fabric will last a lifetime, and I have found 100% linen table cloths and curtains for super cheap… and walla you have yards of what would be expensive fabric for under $10.00
You could make some nice pieces!
That will last you for years.
A way better investment than buying some artificial clothes from Walmart.
