I, too, am hesitant to buy off the rack, mainly because the stuff is just garbage and meant to fall apart. Although I have cut out many items and sewn some, this coming year I need to focus more on what is truly "me" and not what the blog world considers the next best thing. I encourage you to tackle a bra. I bought the class by Beverly Johnson on Craftsy and it is SO easy to follow her instructions. You will be amazed at how easy it is to sew and will be kicking yourself for what you have paid for bras up until now. I still have some tweaks for fit, but it is like any other sewing - you add some to the seam here or you take some out there. And it is miles better than store bought. I promise!! I am looking forward to what you sew in 2016!!Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899896728363922575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360773323117018798.post-27427694221337562742015-12-14T16:19:26.454-05:002015-12-14T16:19:26.454-05:00I have totally gone off buying RTW.

I think that it is amazing that you have gone a whole year without buying anything much. That is fabulous. I am really going to try to follow your lead in 2016. I have a new job so I need to have a very smart wardrobe but the thought of shopping for it is making me sad. The stuff in the shops is really so inferior in fit and fabric to home-sewn. Sewing a bathing suit sounds like fun but a bit scary.

My me-made clothes might not fit perfectly, but they're better than RTW and are in the styles/fabrics that I want. One of my goals for 2016 is to tackle bra and panty-making and to hopefully say goodbye to buying those RTW.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01234279501973005511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360773323117018798.post-75647291997289463802015-12-14T12:22:40.201-05:002015-12-14T12:22:40.201-05:00It's great to hear your thoughts on this. I...It's great to hear your thoughts on this. I've been thinking a lot about a RTW fast, especially since I've already been in a de facto RTW fast since summer. I had to buy some interview clothes and some pants for work in the earlier part of the year, but I dislike them all so much that I either avoid wearing them or spend the whole time that I'm wearing them thinking about how much I hate the fit, fabric, etc. A lot of the time, the labor of actually making something for myself feels much less intensive than the labor that would go into finding something in the store that I genuinely like!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697129602007858651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360773323117018798.post-41100256157096535742015-12-14T10:11:04.170-05:002015-12-14T10:11:04.170-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alicia @ Pandora Sewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323686857486398255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360773323117018798.post-82739271241294549892015-12-14T10:10:48.093-05:002015-12-14T10:10:48.093-05:00Thanks, Carolyn!

And I've had to be very careful about what I purchased because of the fit issues.
