I really wish I understood and was competent at making modern daily clothing. I'm ok with sewing for quilting, or making SCA tunics and shifts and such, but the modern tissue paper pattern is an intimidating mystery to me. (All this weird stuff with elastic and interfacing - I just want a nice simple dress or blouse!) And what's worst is that I don't really have any way to get practice, because I can't find patterns that a) fit me and b) are designed for woven fabric, not knit, which is all I know how to sew and what I want to use.
