Wow... Yes, I just turned 61, I have at least one room dedicated to sewing (the other is scrapping/card making) another is an overflow of both.... and I don't dare add up what I have invested in my crafts.... that would scare me to death... but I bet I come close to those figures.... :)

69yrs old, my whole house is designated as a sewing room, but I fall short on fabric and equipment.

Let's see...
11 years past the age. Oh yes, I do have at least that amount invested in tools and supplies and Yes, have at least that amount in fabric. Still buying more. I think it grows more fabric!
I'm cleaning up my sewing room (yes that too, I have my own sewing room) and going through plastic containers. Just found some fabric that I don't remember seeing before. Like I said, it grows.
