The most I have ever made is the top under this sari (http://www.fluffhouse.org.uk/mostly_a_cat/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=20279), which I hand stitched badly, working it out from first principles by staring at a t-shirt I had. I'm very happy and confident doing quick things badly (eg I can take some cloth and turn it into a bag in half an hour that will last through a play as a prop) but have never made anything 'proper'
