Making your own clothes allows you to wear one-of-a-kind pieces that fit you perfectly and get people talking. Plus, learn the basics of sewing and you'll never waste money on alterations again! One of the easiest items to make when you're new to sewing is a simple gathered skirt — the ideal addition to your Summer wardrobe. A sewing machine can run to hundreds of bucks for a top-of-the-line model, but if you're just starting out, you can get one for about £50 that'll do all you need it to do.
