The best thing to do is network with someone you know who sews or put up a message on the board at your local AC Moore/Micheal's/Jo Ann's. You can find simple T-tunic patterns online, then you just have to buy the fabric and pay a nominal sewing fee. Most seamstresses are usually pretty cool, as long as they aren't professional. Then they charge more because it's a business- not a hobby. Hope this helps.
