I'm a lazy bum, so ModCloth is pretty much the only online shop I regularly check right now.

Spotted Make Your Own Clothes on ModCloth, like, two weeks ago and snapped it up despite having no idea how to work my sewing machine.



I love that it includes pattern maker software that lets you use your own measurements, although I have yet to install it into my laptop since it is an old lady and I've been thinking about purchasing a new one. (Hopefully Ms. Laptop won't take offense at that comment and start acting up on me. XD) The book also includes basic info on fabric choices and hand-sewing techniques, which are helpful.

As for the patterns themselves, there are a few I have absolutely no interest in (like the drawstring shorts and child's dress lol), but overall I like them. The sleeveless dress, flared skirt, vest and tulip skirt patterns have caught my eye in particular.
