I love sewing, even though it can be very expensive and time consuming.
Just yesterday I went to the fabric store, and got some really nice fabric and patterns.
I ended up spending $150, but if you examine how many items I'll be able to make, as well as the quality of the things I bought, it's very much worth it.
Over the next few weeks I'll be working on making a black velvet cape lined with red satin, as well as a simple black gown in what I believe to be a traditional Russian style. I also have enough fabric left over to make a black velvet capet and muff set, lined with satin, and possibly a black skirt too.
However, sewing is fun, and when you make your own clothing it becomes uniquely yours, as opposed to being a run-of-the-mill article which thousands of other people are going to own.
Besides, most of the clothing I'd die to own happen to be items from specialty stores which charge a massive amount of money for thier products. I'd much rather pay $50 on fabric and trim than pay $250 for a gown I could easily make. 3nodding
