Well that’s how I thought when I’m starting out, but that was a huge time investment. First, You need to search from thousands of materials online which is so overwhelming, then you need to experiment with each technique until you are successful that cost lots of wastage in fabric and time.
Even if you don’t buy this, I always suggest anyone to learn from someone who already journeyed there and has enough experience. This not only saves you tons of time but also helps you learn quick techniques and strategies. Time is huge! Remember we can’t but a single second even if we spend unlimited price.
