My DH kept a record of the costs he incurred on the last bicycle he did up, it was really interesting.
Any one up for the challenge?
I already keep an Excel spreadsheet to track my thrift store fabric purchases. It tracks the date, number of yards, total cost of the piece, price per yard, /color/description and mfg if there is a selvedge. I had not thought of tracking my LQS fabric purchases. Good idea for me. I also think I will add a spreadsheet for notion, thread etc. Can you tell I used to be a bookkeeper?
