Sewing is no easy task, but it's a great way to craft unique, sustainable clothes that stand out in a sea of fashion carbon copies -- not to mention a rewarding hobby.

Sewing is no easy task, but it's a great way to craft unique, sustainable clothes that stand out in a sea of fashion carbon copies -- not to mention a rewarding hobby.

But how does one get started on their sewing journey? What kind of machine should you buy?

To find out more, we spoke to podcaster and sewing enthusiast Penny Snark, who previously spoke with "Good Morning America" about DIY Halloween costumes in fall 2023.

Snark's clothesmaking abilities extend far beyond the realm of costumes, though, so we wanted to know how she got into sewing and what advice she has for those who'd like to start their own journey into the practice.

"I officially got my sewing machine in 2019," the seamstress explained, "then, obviously, I started spending a lot more time at home!"

That ability to dedicate time to practicing paid off handsomely, as she's since started crafting more and more elaborate looks, including Victorian-inspired gowns, picnic-ready pinafores and more.
