Re: Sewing Machines

[(Anonymous)]

I think the other comments have it pretty well covered. An experienced seamstress knows that sewing your own everyday clothing doesn't save you money. The materials alone will cost more than just buying a shirt from Wal-Mart! Now, it can still be worth it if you know your stuff or if you want something unusual that'd be really hard to buy retail. But the upfront investment in equipment will be a LOT more than $40.

As for the suggestions that say you can use old sheets or repurpose fabric you already have... yeah, that's mostly wishful thinking. Do you have a stockpile of old, but good quality cotton sheets lying around the house that you don't mind cutting up? Do you have a bunch of clothes that are so huge you can take them apart, trim and discard all the worn and stained bits and still be left with large enough pieces to re-use? And that's assuming all that fabric is in a color/pattern that you like or can re-dye to a color you like. (Good dyes are also not cheap.)

Chances are the answer is no. I don't mean to rain on your parade OP, truly I don't. But if you're serious about this, you'll need a decent sewing machine (anything that's brand new and under $75 is really dodgy) and enough money for the tools and materials. That will probably run you more than $150, and that's all without ever sewing a single stitch.

You might want to check out places like Jo-Ans if you have one near you. They often offer beginner's classes in sewing. You could see if you like it and learn more about what to look for in a good sewing machine, etc. to figure out if it's something you want to pursue.
