It started last month when I made a sissy bar for Sharon's bike and then decided to make a pad for the sissy bar. So we bought me a little sewing machine but not knowing much about the machine, I decided to make a shirt to become familier with the machine. So we got a McCalls pattern and some pepper material, and I proceeded. I did not speak Pattern language so Sharon translated the language into understandable Redneck. She gave me some pointers but I did the sewing, and lo, and behold, a shirt came out of it.
Counting the cost of the machine, pattern, thread, and material, the shirt wound up costing about 100 dollars. If I do more then the cost will come down, but it is not cheap to make your own clothes.
Yup. There it is. Sharon calls it "Busy".
No, sewing your own clothing isn't necessarily cheap but how else are you going to get your very own pepper shirt??? I love it. I have some sail fish fabric I keep meaning to use to make a shirt for Tim. When you're done with the sissy bar cover are you going to make more clothes?
