I used to make allmy clothes, even under garments all but braws. Made Wedding dress for a few years and used to sew for people and draft pants patterns for people. Myde all my husbands slacks and 3 piece suits and ties to match my dress and our son a short to match. But gained weight and it wasn't fun any more. I still love to make my own jackets and vests and bags etc but do want to get back into some clothes sewing again for I do not like most of the styles now a day.
I think you should at least try it. It is different that quilting for the seams are 5/8 th in. ANd you have to cut most things out on the straight of the grain. Let us know what you decide.
