I do have some real advice - if you are wanting to dive back into the sewing of clothes, then maybe practise with a skirt or pair of shorts/pajama pants. I find those pieces are so much easier to make than a shirt, because they often don't require much fitting or darts, etc. It's a good way to find out if you're forgetting something easy, because they do require most basic steps, but it can take about one hour from start to finish to make skirt or shorts.

When I was a kid, I made a sundress for myself, start to finish, with interfacing and everything and it fit wonderfully. Now I'm like, I can sew up a piece of fabric into a tube and hem it and call it a skirt. (I make bags and quilts now, mostly.)
