Re: Sewing Machines

[pantswarrior]

Yeah, this. A sewing machine that will likely last more than a year or two is probably going to cost over $100 unless you get really lucky and find one used that someone REALLY wants to get rid of. Fabric that is actually remotely comfortable to wear (and not so thin as to be transparent) is generally not cheap, though you can sometimes find decent deals - and if you have Jo-Ann Fabrics where you are, you'll never have to pay full price for anything if you sign up for their email and snail mail fliers. But then there's the thread, buttons, zippers, snaps, elastic, interfacing, etc... If you're good at math and measuring, you don't need patterns (I've bought about two in my entire life, and none in the last ten years), but they're often the cheapest part of the whole sewing process anyway.

Meanwhile stores like Walmart and such sell articles of clothing for under $20 not because they're marked up, but because they're made in bulk, most often by people in foreign nations working for way less than minimum wage.

These days, sewing one's own clothing, at least in the US, is not a way to save money AT ALL. It's more like a fun, creative, incredibly expensive hobby.
