This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.

Last year JK Rowling personally funded a group called Sex Matters to amend UK law so that trans women *overnight* went from legally women to legally men. This has resulted in mass exclusion of the trans community from numerous organizations, along with ongoing violent assaults on both trans and cis women alike.

Imagine a world where music is music and dance is dance, and the two of them have nothing to do with each other. People go to the club and rhythmically throb in complete silence; they go to dance recitals, and it's all just people moving weirdly around the stage, in silence. If you go to a concert and you start tapping your toes or clapping in time with the music, this is seen as weird and kind of gauche. Everyone notes that, historically, music and dance used to have a lot to do with each other, and some of the historical art created from that past, like The Nutcracker or Singin' in the Rain or the Macarena, was "pretty good", but combining them is just not the Done Thing anymore by serious artists. It's only done by weird and trashy subculture artists who aren't taken seriously by the mainstream artistic establishment. On those rare occasions when a "serious artist" decides to incorporate music into their dance or vice versa, they need to take pains to establish that they're being subversive, rather than playing it straight like those weird, trashy musical dancers.
