buying patterns inexpensively

[AmeliaM]

For the newbies out there...cause I know anyone who has been sewing for awhile knows about this(or should). If you check your ads for your area-you can do this online. You can purchase patterns for 99c to sometimes $1.99 at most.

Look in the weekly ad section. Plus there are free patterns and projects online.

Another money saving tip is to buy patterns that are fairly basic, classic designs. You can use the patterns as a base and then go from there to make each garment unique. You don't need as many different patterns that way. Most of our clothing is made from about 4 or 5 patterns and you would never know.
