I'm younger, but the numbers are right except reversed. I probably have $3700 in supplies and $8700 in fabric.
Oh, forgot the longarm. OK, more than $3700 in supplies. |
Way toooo young :!: ... only 61 on Thursday :oops:
|
In 7 years that's me!
|
Well, I'm over on all the categories. I'm 69, and I have that much in ONE machine, and I have 3 others that I use, won't count the antique machines. And fabric and supplies goes way over too.
|
I do believe my fabric has risen in value, at least some of it. I remember buying very pretty, can't resist, Hoffman Woodblocks prints quite some years ago. Now, I think if I put up a yard or so for sale, it would fetch at the very least $9.50 a yard.
Anyway, I fit all the categories except the one about $8,000+ for tools. I think that may include a long arm or high tech sewing machine--which I don't have --Yet.! |
yes to everything but the age, i'm many decades younger
|
No.
Yes. Aspiring. Not yet. :) |

Nope
nope nope nope. Getting closer on the age thing but about a decade younger. Using a small corner of the guest bedroom :evil: I don't have even close to that in tools/machines...but I DO love the gadgets, so someday probably will I really don't have that much fabric...got a start from an ebay big box win and had a couple of boxes sent by my grandmother..so not much of a stash... I'll get there though...I just LOVE it! |
