Making my own clothes

I started making some of my own clothes last year and I’m really enjoying it. It was my mum (1) ……… first got me interested in learning to sew because she makes a lot of her own things.

I started off by designing something quite simple – a T-shirt. It wasn’t as easy (2) ……… I thought it would be, and it took me quite a long time.

I was pleased (3) ……… the finished product, though, and I enjoyed sewing it.

I liked it so much, (4) ……… fact, that I decided to study how to make clothes at college.

I signed (5) ……… for a course earlier this year and started in July.

So far on the course, I’ve learned all about making trousers and skirts and we’re going to start looking at shirts quite soon. It’s great, and I’ve saved loads (6) ……… money, as I’ve bought fewer clothes.
