Patternless sewing...
I bought a sewing machine to make a Halloween costume for Son. I ended up basically cutting out cloth in the shape of a tunic and sewing the halves together. It turned out OK. I doubt I'd try anything more complex without some kind of instruction.
I have five sewing machines and a serger. There is no hope for me.
