    You could look into becoming a costume designer. You could continue to draw clothing, but not be a fashion designer, if you became an illustrator specializing in clothing and fashion. You might enjoy fabric design instead of clothing.

    No, but it will be more difficult to design clothes without knowing how to make them.
