Sewing on your own
We are in, or coming out of, a depression. There is not as much money around as there once was, now is the time to re-learn those forgotten skills that your mom or your granny tried to teach you when you were little. And there are a lot of old sewing machines and a sewing pattern or two unused and available in friends and relatives houses, so borrow them. Nothing is nicer than a beautiful home-made cardigan or jacket for a new baby or a bed jacket for your granny for her birthday. Altering clothes or mending them when they need it is another way to save money and can even make you money if you are good at it. People often want a new zip put into a pair of trousers or a jacket and hems often need altering on skirts and dresses.
Go to a class or ask your granny to teach you, you may be pleasantly surprised at the talents you have.
