Given the number of people here who are either “plus-size” or otherwise don’t match your default sizing, a tutorial on pattern-less methods such as “Rectangular Construction” would be useful.

For those who enjoy doing embroidery, decorative stitching along seam lines adds a lovely touch to such garments, too.
