Okay. Who here knows how to sew? Come on, speak up. There has to be someone. I will owe you my STILL BEATING HEART. Or, y'know, a present of some kind.
I know, not the best sketch ever, but, well, it gets the point across. I really, really, REALLY want to make that outfit, but I don't even know one end of a needle from the other until I poke myself with it. And then I get blood all over. It's just not good. All I know of sewing comes from that one scene in Cinderella where the mice are making her dress for the ball, which, hey, might not be entirely useful as I am neither six inches tall nor do I have a lot of mousey friends.
Anyway. Can anyone point me in a direction or give me some tips? I don't want to be, like, the next Project Runway contestant, I just want to make my own clothes fit right. Child-bearing hips, people--apparently the clothing industry does NOT like them. :(
PS OMG YES I WILL HAVE THE CW!!! *EXCITED FACE*

That's the thing, though. I don't really know how to measure the fabrics and do the whole cutting them thing. I'm horrible at juding stuff like that, and I'm the kind of person who would go through all the trouble of sewing it up and then realize I need another two inches around the waist for it to fit. :(
I missed the thing on the CW, too! I only just found the channel carrying their programs at like 1AM. We can wallow in our miss-age together!

*eyes widen and smiles* thank you! that's...one person that loves me today. yay!
i'm sure you could find some type of pattern to work from...? they have all kinds of on-line patterns, methinks... just find one and roll with it (perhaps?)
*wallows with you* le sigh. i'll be pregaming whilst i watch, but hey, at least i'll be watching *shrugs*

Dear Sweet Thang:
You are awesome,
You are lovely,
You make me feel
Sort of wobbly.
In the knees, that is.
You are fantastic,
You are sexy,
You make me feel
Sort of tingly.
In the girl parts, that is.
Love,
Mel
