I never found clothes shopping fun. And my weight has always fluctuated and recently it has been going up again. Been needing to get my hormone levels checked to find out what's going on. Until then I have been wanting to try and feel more comfortable with myself.

So my husband bought me a sewing machine for my birthday and my best friend has been helpful in teaching me how to make stuff.

I just sewed up this top. This is NOT my own pattern. I will post the name of the pattern and the pattern maker in the comments.

My friend leant me the skirt for the photos.

Always open to any sewing tips. Also any fabric or pattern recommendations.
