In our country's hard economic situation, I expect a lot more people to get back to basics. Why pay $300 for an outfit when you can make something that's one-of-a-kind? I know what you're thinking - sewing is hard, and I have no idea how to do it. Well, you're right. But it's no harder than learning to drive a car - and look how that turned out. As a matter of fact, I just learned how to knit last week by watching a youtube video!
To inspire you further, just stop by your local fabric store on a weekend and see what's going on there. Most offer classes that will fit your busy schedule, and if you purchase a sewing machine, they usually give you a few classes for free to get you familiar with sewing.
