I usually think of construir as build or construct, fabricar as manufacture and hacer to make. Of course in some cases they overlap, fabricar can be used to build or make as well etc.
So, just as an opinion from a non-native, for making clothes I would use hacer ropa.

hi =)
you can say "confeccionar ropa". It sounds prettier "confeccionar prendas de vestir" instead of "ropa" =)
