Did any trannies learn to sew when they transitioned or since? Did it make you feel feminine doing a womanly hobby? Did you make your own clothes that fit you?
>>35496861I want to try this but fabrics are so expensive. Also I'm afraid if I learn too much about tailoring it's going to ruin fashion for me because I'll over-analyze the way clothes are made and it'll take the fun out of it.
>>35496915Yeah it's not a cheap hobby. But I used to play warhammer, so I think I can handle it.>>35496933What?
>>35496861im getting a sewing machine so i can make boymoder and chud plushies
lol I did a sewing day camp once when I was like 5 or something and didn't know better
>>35496998I had my 1st class sewing badge in boyscouts. As I recall it was easy to get, you just had to darn a sock or something. But still. And I can handstich simple repairs on stuff, I just don't because men's clothes are cheap.
>>35496861I taught myself to do basic stuff to mend clothes and fix buttons a long time ago.If I had time for yet another hobby I'd like to learn to weave. Something about looms is so... hypnotizing.
>>35497026Yeah I'm going to have to relearn knitting to help me quit smoking. But learning to sew my own clothes hits two birds with one stone because it's a feminine hobby, but also clothes that fit.
Nobody else wants to learn to sew?
i started before i transitioned but not in a womanly way. i used to watch this channel called man sewing on ytiwnbaw :(
>>35496915Buy them at a creative reuse or thrift store
>>35496861But yeah I sew it's not hard to be ok at sewing everyone used to do it
>>35497609What do you sew?
>>35497618Clothes I guess.. I've only done a couple pieces but at least 1 shirt I made is in my regular rotation. It's kinda fun but it's not much cheaper and takes longer than just thrifting clothes so I only do it if I feel like it. It's definitely nice to be able to choose the exact size tho cus I have a huge hon body
>>35496861No.I just kept being me.I already read otome comics and novels for several years before I even realized I was trans so I had a girly hobby already.
>>35496861love sewing. i buy stupid button down shirt from thrift stores and make them fit me. i hate that thats all i feel like i can do as a male, make a shitty button down less boxy and wear the same jeans over and over. i want to looking in the womens section but it makes me crazy anxious.
>>35497696Have you thought about making a corset? It doesn't seem that hard, and they're only good when they're custom made.
>>35496861i will learn some this year probably so i can start making my own Ellaphae veils
>>35496861i've always had a pretty fat ass so my grandmother used to have to tailor all my pants for me, and since she's too old to do it now, i figured out how to do it myselfi do a lot of tailoring for my friends too
>>35496861I've been sewing for nearly 2 decades now, I trooned only 4 years ago. Yes, I'm old.
>>35496861Idk how to use a sewing machine but I can use a needle and thread? I do kind of want to learn though, not to gain a "feminine hobby" lmao but because I saw this person who makes really cool outfits and masks and other crafty things and I think itd be neat.
>>35499608>I don't want to sew because I want a "feminine hobby">I just want a hobby, that's feminine.Never let anyone tell you you're not trutrans.
i wanted to learn how to sew so i could make some cool original clothes.too bad this dream ended like the rest of them :)
I'm 6' so I struggle to regularly find women's clothes long enough for me unless I travel to NL. So I've thought for ages that I'd like to learn to sew so I could make clothes that fit my proportions. But... I have zero ability to keep at any new habit and I have bought equipment for new hobbies so many times and just abandoned them so it makes me wary about buying a machine and fabric etc. Would be cool though.
>>35500151Could you maybe find one secondhand?some people just give away stuff they dont need anymore
>>35500176Yeah, probably. I still worry about the guilt that will come with trying to start something new and inevitably failing to keep at it. My self confindence is completely crippled at this point.
