I started to make pants from today. First, I choose a black fabric that looks warm because it's getting chilly soon and winter is coming. I hoped my dad felt comfortable when he wore what I made. Then I patterned the L-size pants shape with chalk on the fabric. After that, I cut along the line out. Making clothes is not easy; it has taken about two hours so far. Then I operated the sewing machine to make circle shapes on a scrap of fabric. I got some praise from my sewing instructor and my mom.

1.
Original: I started to make pants from today.
Corrected: I started making pants today.
Explanation:
We say “started making” instead of “started to make” to sound smoother. Also, "from today" is not needed — just "today" is enough.
2.
Original: First, I choose a black fabric that looks warm because it's getting chilly soon and winter is coming.
Corrected: First, I chose a black fabric that looked warm because it's getting chilly and winter is coming.
Explanation:
"Choose" should be "chose" because this already happened. "Looked" matches "chose" in past tense. “Soon” isn’t needed since “getting chilly” already shows time.
3.
Original: I hoped my dad felt comfortable when he wore what I made.
Corrected: I hoped my dad would feel comfortable when he wears what I made.
Explanation:
Use "would feel" for something you're hoping about in the future. "Wears" is better here because he hasn't worn it yet.
4.
Original: Then I patterned the L-size pants shape with chalk on the fabric.
Corrected: Then I traced the L-size pants shape with chalk onto the fabric.
Explanation:
"Traced" is the correct word when you draw around something. "Patterned" means to make a design, which isn't what you meant.
5.
Original: After that, I cut along the line out.
Corrected: After that, I cut along the line.
Explanation:
"Out" is not needed. Just say "cut along the line" to sound right.
6.
Original: Making clothes is not easy; it has taken about two hours so far.
Corrected: Making clothes is not easy. It has taken about two hours so far.
Explanation:
This sentence is a bit long. Breaking it into two short sentences makes it easier to read.
7.
Original: Then I operated the sewing machine to make circle shapes on a scrap of fabric.
Corrected: Then I used the sewing machine to make circle shapes on a scrap of fabric.
Explanation:
We usually say "used" a sewing machine, not "operated." "Used" is simpler and more natural.
8.
Original: I got some praise from my sewing instructor and my mom.
Corrected: I got some praise from my sewing instructor and my mom. ✅
Explanation:
This sentence is already correct! Great job!
