if you think you can do it, you can do it!!
all my sewing experience was textiles in year 7, and a couple of bags i made out of my fathers old jeans.
But i made my wedding dress =) got my first sewing machine as a birthday/xmas pressie in novemeber, and made 2 dresses by march.

The satin is slipery, i found having a lining made it easier (i just use calico).

in saying that, ebay might work too =)

but its worth a try, just like everything else!

good luck with it!! if you want any help or tips ill try as best as i can!!
