A few questions (which may or may not be relevent):

Are you male or female? Female

Child or adult? Adult

Do you have a good sewing machine? Not sure if my sister's machine works. Though I want to hand sew.

Do you have *any* previous experience sewing? fixing seams and sewing on buttons, and I made a pillow in the 7th grade, and I actually still have it after 20+ years.

If "yes", what was the result? I had good solid seams and buttons that stayed on for a long time.

Do you have good ironing equipment? No

Do you have fabric? scraps, that I plan to try and make a quilt with.

Do you want to make clothing? Yes

Or curtains? No

Or ?????

Beverly,

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Follow up is not
one of my strong suits, but here I am. I want to make professional
business clothes for myself. Though I don't know how to enlarge a
pattern or even how to pick out the appropriate patterns for what I
want to make.

My measurements don't fit the usual for women, so I have to modify
patterns or make my own.

Bust: 52 1/2"
Waist: 48"
Hips: 58"

Those are the most recent measurements I have. I would appreciate any
suggestions, especially since I want to make my clothes by hand. I
don't like mending, which is why I haven't been sewing for a long
time.
