There are a number of acceptable answers, 'sewing' being one of them. If it's more craft related, 'needlework' is the most commonly used term. In the world of haberdashery, 'tailoring' is the term used to describe their art whereas 'fashion sewing' is used to describe the sewing of clothing whether for men or women. Lastly, 'costume sewing' is the art of sewing costumes while 'costuming' is the art of creating costumes in general, which includes sewing. Hope this helps.
You can buy patterns in fabric stores (or fabric departments of department stores), buy fabric and cut it to fit the patterns, then sew the cut fabric together. If you don't know how to operate a sewing machine... ask someone to show you how, and PRACTICE before you spend a lot of money on dress materials. (Hand-sewing clothes can take forever.)
