a strange and terrible saga

very posted:

Lately I've had a wild hair about making my own clothes. I got these two books: Couture Sewing Techniques and Shirtmaking, and they are both great. Also, this guy has a lot of videos that deconstruct how to create slopers and such. It doesn't seem all that hard, but I'm sure there is a lot that I'm not seeing. What's the catch? Will I be able to make things that don't look home-made? If I just pick up and examine a shirt or something it does look awfully complicated.

Making slopers and patterns for one-offs where you have the leisure of spending full afternoons and weekends isn't terribly tough. Industrial pattern making means making patterns that sew together immediately with no though necessary from the technician and a silhouette designed for your target audience with the proper color ways takes years and years and years. Time is money concept.
