I usually sew shirts for myself (not T-shirts, more like business shirts) or dresses for my niece who is four. It's so much fun to use unicorn cloth and lace - which I never use for myself (well...except for the unicorn cloth that changes colour in the sun...).
It's all self-taught, and every other project I'm trying something new to learn something new.
My grand project will be a suit for myself for graduation day next year.
I've also done a Rockabilly dress for my sister.
It's easy to find normal business shirts in my size, but if you want to have something different, it's impossible; that's where it comes in very handy.
It all started a few years back with knitting, as there weren't nice, fitting hats for my large skull.
I'll try to attach a photo one of my favourite self-made shirts. It's very lemony :laughcrying:

Nice, I’ve never known anyone who makes their own clothes. They’ll always be unique to you and your niece… until she gets older and started wanting designer brands to “fit in”

You just about have to make your own historical clothes for medieval re-enacting! I'm making a Viking age Swedish coat at the moment. I've long given up on fitting in, sometimes I wear my historical clothes when I go places

I suppose that is a point if you do period dress. Used to love Victorian, Edwardian and 1940s events at railways and museums. Didn’t dress up myself though.
