The only hobby I have now is quilt making and I make 10 -18 per year. I bought my fabrics at scattered times. Again fabrics can cost whatever one wants to spend.
I agree! My first sewing machine was a "moving sale" 1960's Singer for $20 (loved that machine!), which came with the desk, and everything in the drawers (needles, scissors, thread, zippers....they were stuffed). I used old pillowcases, sheets and clothing I had on hand to practice. If you decide you enjoy your new hobby, you can upgrade as you see necessary....I always buy inexpensively.
