LOL, I only fit the having my own sewing room category. I'm younger than the average age and don't think I have that much invested in tools and fabric.
Interesting find, though! |
Yikes, this is pretty scary! But then again I didn't know I was so rich haha
The age is the only thing I haven't attained yet :D |

Is this you? I know I fall in that category. Give me your thoughts. :lol: :oops: :roll: Anna |
LOL!
35, with a landing that is probably 12x12? that is my sewing "room". Counting all my sewing machines, *MAYBE* $2k in equipment. K. Maybe $3k. Fabric...well, that's a whole other thing. Are they counting RETAIL or actual price paid? Because I'm a good deal-scouter. |
yes this sounds about right, except for the age (almost there!) everything else describes me to a tee!!
|
Not quite 62 yet...'only' 56
Finally got my own room just for sewing last year My Bernina might put me close to the $8,500 but I refuse to count it all up! I can't believe that I'm even close. 'closing my eyes, covering my ears & saying lalalalala' I do have a nice little stash but not that nice! LOL!!! |
I fit 3/4 items of that profile. I am 62, have a sewing room (in which I have a futon so it serves as a second guest room), and probably have nearly that much invested in fabric, thread, batting, etc. (at $8-9/yd it doesn't take long to add up to $3500; but I don't think my quilting/sewing tools total $8500. I have several (well, five) sewing machines but they are all old or, if newer, not expensive ones. Other items are primarily necessities with only a few extras thrown in.

They all work for me & lucky that DH doesn't know
|
I'm 35 and heavily tattooed! I have a small area that I sew in and I do not have that much invested in fabric and tools!
