Getting personal
I love to sew, but I'm afraid of sewing clothing because I have never been able to wear any shirts sewn from a pattern.
Now that I have that quilt out of the way, I'm hankering to do more sewing and I'm feeling ballsy.
I need shirts. Summer is coming up and all my summer shirts are kind of worn out. I am stuck with wearing stretchy material shirts since I have such an ample chest. The shirts get stretched out of shape after a summer. Well, I want to wear shirts made out of non stretchy material. I think they would last longer and I could sew that type of fabric much easier. Anyway, here's my question:
My boobs are about a size 14 or XL, but the rest of me is about size 6 or S. (Does that sound crazy or what? I took a picture in case anyone has trouble visualizing it.) So I am wondering if it is feasible to buy size 14 clothes and take them in everywhere but the chestal region.
I don't know how to make my own clothing patterns so that's why I'm thinking about doing alterations like this. I should probably practice on some thrift store finds. Ooo - I like that idea. Does anyone else have any ideas or tips for me? Thank you!!!
