I've been sewing for over 10 years, so making a sweater takes me just a little over an hour - can't go to the city and find a store to buy a nice one in that timeframe!

Two years ago I also bought an embroidery machine, because embroidering by hand on clothes just took a loooooong time every time (some of the things I made pictures of, which is certainly not everything I made with it!).
I went to a store to try out several machines and I went for the Brother Innov-is V3 Limited Edition, because I can use large embroidery frames with that machine (I had saved up quite some money during the two years that I couldn't go on holiday because of covid :P). I noticed I'm using the 20x30 cm frame a lot! If you buy a sewing/embroidery combination machine, you can often only use the smaller frames (around 10x10 cm). And I really like embroidering skirts.

On the other hand, I can't knit XD

Ten years is a nice chunk of time to develop a skill. But still, producing something within a couple hours is impressive. By making it yourself, you get exactly what you want or at least can't blame anyone else about its construction if something's off. ;;w;;

Those embroidered skirts are gorgeous! I love the black-on-black one. Very chic. I was looking at Brother machines, actually. It's a name I recognize, at least, and they seem like a trustworthy brand. For my needs, I don't think I need one that works in a large frame. (I'm not that ambitious yet.)

I can't knit, either. I know how, in theory, but in practice it just...doesn't work. I'm also bad with counting and remembering, so I lose my place very easily and just take apart what I've done to redo it. Not very efficient.
