Hey y'all! Do you have any recommendations for things to do or not do when sewing clothing? Basically, where to start? I've made doll clothes and a few skirts for my nieces, but I don't wear skirts or dresses and I am doing fine on pajama pants, so I think the like easiest thing for me to start with will be shorts? Probably like quilting cotton, elastic waist super simple ones, I just don't know a good pattern to try and don't know enough about clothing patterns to know how to pick a good pattern

#the person behind the yarn #I mean a couple pairs of like cotton or linen-ish shorts (if I can find any linen) with like patch pockets would be great #but I think my ideal item of clothing would honestly be like just-below-knee length shorts #but the poofy kind? that has like an elastic gather at the bottom?#like somewhere between joggers and ren-faire-ish pants #full range of motion! large pockets! will stay in place when I Move Weirdly as I am apt to do!#those are on my list to make someday #it would also be cool to have a machine washable poofy pirate-y shirt #except I know I strongly dislike wearing long sleeves because I get them caught on things #or inevitably just push them up above my elbows #idk if there's a sleeve equivalent of those just-below-the-knee pants?#those are longer term goals I'm starting more reasonably: shorts
