Re: Fabric Sticker shock :( ---- But Carol :) Muggs
Fabric prices are high all over, not just Walmart. I used to sew often, it was a hobby of mine, but I haven't sewed in years. I bought a new machine.....never opened it. Thought I needed it, evidently not. Sometimes I go to the fabric store to look around for inspiration. The patterns, unless they are on special sale, are prohibitively expensive. The fabric is too. My skills are rusty, and I don't know the ins and outs of my new machine. The truth is pinning and cutting a pattern would kill my back. Nor do I want to spend $50 to make a top that I could buy for less. It's the creative aspect I dream about, and one day maybe I'll open the box, take out the machine, and play with it. But the sewing I used to do is no longer an option.
