Hiding My Love~: I keep trying to sew... XD (big sewing/shop update)

I have taken a major step in my fashion designer life... I have begun to sell shirts I made, on storenvy... Only thing is... I've yet to sell ANYTHING that I've made, my polymer clay accessories included! So, to put it simply, no one seems to want them.

Naturally, because I'm paranoid, I automatically assume that this means that my stuff is not up to par. SO, now I'm wondering if I should even keep going, but that's not what this is about... This is about my eternal struggle with my mom's old sewing machine/ my lack of technique.

My mom's sewing machine is old, not as old as the only other sewing machine I can use is, but it is old. It's, like, from the 80s or something. (The other one is my grandma's and thus at least around 10 years older, I think...) But the problem isn't that it's old... The problem is that it's simply designed and not made for as much sewing as I do... It's about as simple as you can get, and it had never been used for more than fixing a little rip in some jeans, or something, before I got my hands on it. So, I think I've just about killed the poor thing.

But that's enough of me complaining about my mom's sewing machine.

I have another problem... I'm not capable of going to school for fashion design since all my options, as far a schools go, are too far away and/or expensive. And as a result, I am completely self-taught. Leaving much to be desired in my technique, I'll be the first to admit it, everything I make, is made rather sloppily. But I just keep on trying...

Why?

Because this is one of the few things I'm good at, one of the few things that inspire me, that make me happy, and that can keep my small attention span's attention.

I think that's enough about me... XD

Lemme show you the latest items for sale in my store! ('Cause I'm shameless like that!)

< This one was my first attempt at 'normal-ish' clothes... The result was a tank-top that was made of thick fuzzy/furry material... So basically, the result was a shirt that made no sense, but was cute.
To the bottom left is the second one, this one made more sense... It has light, stretchy materials, and is short-sleeved, making it good for warmer weather (Meanwhile, I don't know what kind of weather you could wear the above one in).
And then came another nonsensical tank-top. Again, it was made using heavy fabrics(though not as heavy this time), denim. And this was my first attempt at some kind of tailoring, with some dart-like thingymabobbers. And then, because it felt empty, I added a giant heart made of sparkly netting and some random purple ribbon... Yeah... I probably would've been better off with only one of those, instead of both.
