I'm 22
Two dresser drawers and card table in corner of bedroom = sewing area.
Only tools $199 sewing machine, two square rulers, a mat and rotary cutter. (My straight edge is the metal thing on the floor in the doorway)LOL
I've spent about $200 on fabric.
So far my immune system has fought off the quilting bug. I have too many hobbies to spend a lot on just one.
Ask again in 40 years, tho, who knows!
