I want to do another one myself but I was actually discouraged because of the bad experience I had with the company from the one I did this year. I do think they are pricey because you spend a couple hundred bucks for the kits over time, and usually that is just for the tops. If its ryan mckenna I can justify it because her patterns by themselves are usually close to a hundred bucks, and fabric for a top is usually cost me the same. If its something you like go for it, I think it just makes it more affordable over time you don't have to shell out a couple hundred bucks all at once
