Funny you should bring this up :lol: I just finished making 2 Jr Bridesmaid dresses for my sons wedding :roll: LOL The wedding was fine the patterns were a different matter :hunf: LOL

It truly all depends on the pattern , the difficulty level and the details of the item you are making. Some patterns are labeled as simple and quick and I would start out with those until you get your feet wet and then move up. A BIG change for me was that with quilting you work with a 1/4" seam, in sewing clothes it is a 5/8" I think :oops: It is marked on my machine , but the pattern also tells you. Another thing is pattern sizes run big, so you need to make adjustments for that . Measure, Measure, Measure

I would be glad to help you out as much as possible, as others on the board will also , I'm sure
