Sewing

I am starting to think I should learn to sew, then I can make slipcovers for all the furniture that is falling apart. Although, the price of fabric is not that cheap either. It seems to me, and I could be wrong about this, but it used to be cheaper to sew something than buy it, now I am not so sure. Maybe it is because a lot of things are not made here anymore.

When you start to factor in your time, cost of materials etc., sometimes it is easier just to buy something. If you already have what you need to make it, then it probably makes more sense.
