This alway supposes you can find what you want. Fabric costs are pretty high (around here) so something that takes a lot of yards will be expensive unless you have access to some good discount places. And with things you buy if you make a mistake you can return it to the store and try something else. I love to sew and am not trying to discourage you from sewing just giving you some more things to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
