When I was much younger I studied an introduction to fashion design in college. I did enjoy that and got as far as making my own designed jacket and a pair of cute shorts after that.
Kinda tempted to pick up where I left off as having transitioned it opens up so much opportunity for experimentation. I absolutely love choosing clothes and looking through the options. It's kinda overwhelming but exciting. I think I could design some cute and interesting stuff.
There are some online courses that could take me back into it so going to explore those. I think a balance of contextual work, exploration and practical assignments would be great.
Anyone else dome any work designing and making their own clothes?

I have not, but I do have an eye for what works as far as clothing.
I think you should and share some of your designs you could be the next Christian Dior.
We would all say we knew you when.

I can barely sew a button on personally, I admire anyone that can produce something from scratch. My mum and her friend used to make all their own outfits in the 60's. The pics of them when they were younger are awesome.

I agree that it is something you might be quite good at.
It isn't just the design, but the choice of fabric and such. With your flair for gender-bending fashions, you could hit on something that is a big hit.
I suspect a lot may include fur.
