This might ____________________ a bit old - fashioned , but my sewing machine is my favourite thing . I ? m studying fashion and love ____________________ things , as ____________________ as designing them . I also love clothes myself and often buy second - ____________________ clothes ? everyone loves the ? vintage ? look at the moment ? and then I ____________________ them to my size . It ? s much easier using a machine to do that than doing it ____________________ hand . I do ____________________ for my mum and my sister too . If I don ? t make it as a designer , I ____________________ I can always ____________________ up my own alterations and ____________________ business . Customising clothes , by taking things off and ____________________ things on , is actually very creative , so I wouldn ? t ____________________ that .
