The reason I decided to learn sewing my own clothes was to be able to wear anything I like with high quality and low budget. 

I respect and admire the Fashion Brands and how much effort is spent in building them, but if it is not for my budget, what’s the use! So after I started sewing, instead of idle window shopping, I started to notice the details and how one yard of fabric can be turned into a good quality outfit. Now I use my SYS - Look Book for this, and it’s much better than spending time in malls :) I advise you to use it as an inspirational resource as well. 

When I examined the high fashion outfit brands closer, I realized that many of the RTW outfits are just smart variations of simple patterns.

I claim that anyone who has an eye on fashion, and willing to execute basic sewing techniques, can create a high quality outfit just by following some simple steps.
