So I bought a sewing machine and tried fitting this old polo:

I highly recommend picking up this skill, it’s way easier than I thought it was going to be and the results are just spectacular~

Clothes that fit enbies can be so hard to find, but the trans joy of seeing yourself in something that fits is absolutely worth the work!

      Hard agree! I can hardly sit still through work today, I wanna fire the machine back up and get my fit for pride tomorrow fitted too ~<3

          Do it! Or just recycle some old clothes, I’ve got a pile of shirts that don’t fit me anymore that I’ll be able to wear again soon~<3

    Looking good! How’d you tailor them? Taking in the waist?

    Also, sewing machine tax? I’d love to see what you picked. I have an Eversewn 30s and it’s saved me so much money by helping me repair my pants.

    I’ve done a bit of light clothing and costume creation. My most complicated project so far has been a plaid skirt for my boyfriend–matching patterns is finicky.

      Yep! I used a tank top that fits almost perfectly as a template for how far I needed to bring in the side seams. It’s probably not the neatest way of doing so, but it’s easy

      Lol, I bought the cheapest sewing machine they had at Walmart, a Singer M1000. Got the feeling that I’m going to outgrow it soon.

      Matching patterns is too much for me at this point. Solid colors only 'til I start to learn what the heck I’m doing.

    Always love seeing enbies rocking cool facial hair! Those glasses also look good on you, really brings out your eyes 😊

    The Venn diagram of enbies and people who sew in my friend group is practically a circle, in fact I think I’m the only non-binary person I know who doesn’t sew 😭
