So I bought a sewing machine and tried fitting this old polo:

I highly recommend picking up this skill, it's way easier than I thought it was going to be and the results are just spectacular~

Clothes that fit enbies can be so hard to find, but the trans joy of seeing yourself in something that fits is absolutely worth the work!

Looking good! How'd you tailor them? Taking in the waist?

Also, sewing machine tax? I'd love to see what you picked. I have an Eversewn 30s and it's saved me so much money by helping me repair my pants.

I've done a bit of light clothing and costume creation. My most complicated project so far has been a plaid skirt for my boyfriend--matching patterns is finicky.

    Yep! I used a tank top that fits almost perfectly as a template for how far I needed to bring in the side seams. It's probably not the neatest way of doing so, but it's easy

    Lol, I bought the cheapest sewing machine they had at Walmart, a Singer M1000. Got the feeling that I'm going to outgrow it soon.

    Matching patterns is too much for me at this point. Solid colors only 'til I start to learn what the heck I'm doing.
