Now the question is "do you want to?"

My husband gets a little frustrated when we go to a show/ shopping for craft related stuff and we don't buy anything becuase I can't bring myself to pay their prices knowing I can do it myself for cheaper!

Come on and join us! My grandmother worked for a US Marine base during WWII. She actually sewed parachutes for the troops! She didn't have much money as she was a widow with a young son. She would go to the best dress shops in town, examine the dresses, then go home and make what she wanted. Then she would go out and dance the night away with the officers! Fifty years later, she married one of those officers!

welcome to the club! I made my first tote ever-turned out great even though I was worried I couldn't follow all those instructions (zippers, cord locks, fancy pockets etc)

My mother used to do that!! We'd go to San Francisco, look in Imagnin's windows for the latest fashion and then hit the fabric stores to make a copy!

I made alot a few years ago,my daughter would find a purse and I would make her one for a lot less than their price.I even took an old Ver Bradly clutch purse apart for my niece and made I don't know how many like that.I really don't know if that is leagal or not but I did do it.

Congratulations! You have reached the point of no return, as my husband tells me. :-)

LOL! So there! along with not making the things I know I could!
