Would you prefer to... Buy clothes or make them?

i am not sure if i've replied to this thread or not lol, but anyways....i get extreme joy from creating and since the moment i decided to get into this hobby i decided as well that i would not purchase clothing but make my own. not to mention how expensive most clothing can be, specially the type of stuff iam interested in. i just love going to the fabric stores and selecting the type of things i need to make something unique only my dolls would wear. i find it very special, plus like i said i enjoy the creating and sewing time very much !!!

 

I like both. I well be making my Rini skirts due to it's hard to find the right one that she well like etc.

 

I really prefer making doll clothes all by myself!!
if there are some one knows what clothes and outfits suits my doll best, that would be me! i know exactly what my doll needs for his character, and what size he needs. cuz the clothes i bought for him are not always the same as i thought and want to be. so i really want to make clothes and outfit for him!
so, i working on it, learning to make clothes~

 

I'll try to sew everything myself. First, because I can sew the style or type of cloth that I like.
Second, it's way cheaper
Third, I want to practice sewing anyways

if I happen to fall for a piece of clothing that can be bought, I'd do that too.
but I'll try sewing first

 

I made most of the plain t-shirts and tanks. The patterns are not too hard and it's way cheaper than buying.

But for something fantasy or vintage, I really want to make them myself but some companies' outfits is really oiuxyubhjnghjkgld!!! GORGEOUS!!!
and I end up buying them eventually.

so that means I make only the easy things huh =A=;

 

I would like to buy more, but as the postal costs and the custom fees are expensive, I'm trying to do most of the clothes. The best of all is that I enjoy making things and invent them sometimes xD

 

I really do want to learn how to sew, but at the moment, I don't really have a lot of time for it, so... I guess I'm stuck buying clothes! XD

 

I prefer to make my bjd's clothing since most of the DC clothes I've found so far online are not my type of outfit for the DC bjd I have now. Sewing is also not a problem for me and as long as I can remember everything from my sewing classes and the lessons from mom then it's all good . Also on another topic does anyone else prefer handsewing to machine sewing? My oppinion is that there is just something nice about handsewing items for bjd, in a way the controll and precise placement of stitches can be allot better than the generalisation of sewing machine stitching; the downside being that handsewing is way more time consuming ^^. But on the topic question I do prefer to creat bjd clothing rather than buying for my own bjd

 

I do both. Since sewing clothes for adults is a business for me, anytime I see a doll outfit I like, I say to self, "would I make it for that price?" If self says "No way!" I buy it.

 

I *prefer* making them, but there're some things I'm either unwilling or unable to make. Basic things like t-shirts and hoodies are way too easy to waste money on, but more complicated things like jackets and coats I haven't the patience to try making. Some other bits of clothing I just buy, as well, like button-down shirts and jeans. (Sewing plackets and buttonholes? NO thanks. XD) I do occasionally make pants/trousers, but only if I can make them either elastic waist or snap-fly. I can't set a zipper in anything but a hoodie to save my life.

 

Ideally I would prefer to make them as I would save money but I feel that I don't have the skills to make my dolls dresses in the style I desire. I plan to work on this

 

I make my dolls' clothes. I definitely catch myself thinking how much I'd prefer to just buy them, especially when browsing around and seeing some particularly good deals, but it's a necessary sacrifice for me--it means that in the long run I will be able to afford better eyes, better wigs, and face-up commissions if I ever feel the need to do so. It's a form of self-discipline that is good for me, too, because knowing I have to design and make it myself means I think much more seriously about every piece of clothing I want.

 

I make my own doll clothes as much as possible..but I still buy some times..especially if it's a H. Naoto brand in a really good price.

 

I buy all of my doll's outfits, but I've always wished I could sew. :3 I've been considering possibly trying to learn, but at the moment I'm not in a hurry to figure out. Maybe in the future though! ^^

 

Though I suck at sewing, I plan on making most my girl's clothes. It would have to all be hand sewn, though, I'm terrified of sewing machines. I'll probably buy some clothes that I know I have no chance of ever being able to make.

 

I really prefer to make the clothes myself, but I am not a very good seamstress, so sometimes it's unavoidable that I have to buy things.

 

I cant sew to save my life at the moment so I am stuck buying but in the long run I would prefer to learn to sew and make my own so I can make cosplay outfits for my dolls

 

I try making my clothes, but I can only make basic outfits and nothing like what I imagine. D: I'm not fond of buying clothes either because they're so expensive! I'm hoping to learn how to sew better in the future, then I'd be able to make the clothes I imagine~

 

I'd love to buy them, but as I'm paying for college and a car, I find myself saying, "why would I buy that when I could make it?" but then never making it either... >.<

 

I am crap at sewing clothes for my own dolls! I end up joining swaps so all the nicest clothes I've ever made all belong to other people! LOL! I would prefer to buy clothes for this reason. Though I don't have a lot of money (it's been shrinking) so I'm going to have to start sewing for my own dolls soon! Just after I finish this swap....
