I try to be as frugal as I can, I have to little ones at home (toddlers) so although sewing is a hobby, I have to make it fit within our budget. I don't buy any fabric at full price, buy a lot from Goodwill and yardsales and grab some off freecycle too. I'm looking forward to the day when I can start buying gadgets
I do have a sewing machine, its a cheap one but it works for me. I make some of my kiddies clothes for special occasions so that saves me money to put into my hobby. When I go back to work when the kiddies are in Elementary school I will have a little bit more income to play with
.. and I shall PLAY! lol
