72 Gorgeous Handmade Creations That Might Inspire You To Start Sewing (New Pics)
For most of us, when we need new clothes, we simply head to the store or browse online until we find something we like. And while that’s certainly convenient, a lot of what we buy these days is mass-produced, not particularly special, and sometimes not even particularly good quality.
But there are people out there who are incredibly skilled with a needle and thread and can bring pretty much anything they imagine to life. The r/sewing community is one place where these creative folks share their handmade creations with the world.
We’ve rounded up some of the most impressive projects they’ve posted. Scroll down to see just how much talent can go into something made by hand!

I Made An 18th Century Inspired Ball Gown For A Drag Queen
CD Mills 6 hours ago
I know why they created those wide skirts, but they look so goofy. Oh, if you don't know the 'why' of it... Back in the day the rich folks would show off their wealth by having massive amounts of the finest and most expensive material made into their wives skirts so they could brag about how rich they were. The men would stand around and peacock about how expensive the skirts were, how much better and richer they were while those women were forced to walk around with pounds and pounds of material and uncomfortable wire cages to hold it all up. I guess we should be still eating the rich.

Oh, this I like. When I was in the Society for Creative Anachronism, we ladies wore bells on our waistbands. Those were our rewards from our Pushy Broad Society. That's not an official designation, just something fun we did locally.

I must share my wife's handmade wedding dress with you sometime. It's better than some of these.

I am glad that you didn't wrote "better than all of these" because there had been quite some examples of handcrafting skills and creativity. But I would like to see your wifes' dress.
