Nope - 55 and holding.

Nope - I have a corner of the Great/TV/Live-in Room.

Nope - With machine and all about $2000.

Maybe around $1200 - $2000 in fabric. I just added another $170 today. :roll: :wink:

Over on the age by a little bit

My dining room IS the sewing room, machine on table so no dining!

Way less on tools...only one of my machine was over $50.

Not sure on fabric, lots of it is bits and pieces bought by the bag or box for $5 or less. Even the bolts of fabric were el cheepo...and besides some of it my daughter's!

no way do I have that much invested. I have a 1936 Feathderweight, cant afford a new machine althought would love to have one that has a dropdown feed dog and fancy stitches. My machine sits on a small folding table in my bedroom.
Maybe when I grow up, teehee!
I have a nice stash, but nowhere near that amount.

I am only 38. And. The rest is pretty close. Maybe not quite so much money if you don't count gas and eating out to get fabric n equipment! Oh and then there's the wine too! Lol

I'm 42, but I've been sewing and quilting ever since I was old enough to pick up a needle and thread. :)

I do have a dedicated room for sewing, plus my quilting frame and Juki are in the bedroom.

Counting the sewing machines and supplies I inherited from my grandmother and great-grandmother, that $8,500 figure is probably a low estimate. Both sewed their entire lives, had multiple machines, and TONS of supplies. My grandmother was well-off, and ... hmmm ... let's just say that she owned no fewer than 92 crochet hooks alone, if that gives an idea as to her "collection" of STUFF. Thousands and thousands of buttons. Hundreds of spools of thread. There is literally enough stuff to stock a store. :shock: Nobody else in the family sews, so guess who took all that stuff home! :mrgreen: (I'd give it all back if I could have my Granny back again, though. I miss her SO much. She passed away earlier this year at the age of 88. :cry: )

I don't have THAT much fabric. Maybe around $1,500 to $2,000-worth, on-hand. (Don't tell Hubby! LOL!) Now, if you count ALL the fabric I've ever purchased, oh yeah, I'm OVER, easily! :lol:

I only have a couple of years to catch up to the age but all else fits me as well :thumbup: Factor in embroidery software and I'm over the $ for supplies :D I have decided it is a good thing to have all these things during this depressing economy when I don't feel comfortable spending.

I am pretty close on all counts. My sewing room is stuffed full with books, machines and pretty fabrics. It's hard to give up any of it.

Way too low on everything!

Past 62.

Do have a sewing room - even if it is small.

Even with my Janome machine I MIGHT have 1500 dollars worth of tools and supplies.

Probably have about $300 worth of fabric.

I didn't think I was even close on the supplies until I started thinking about all the little dodads I have picked up here and there. I almost never buy anything at full price. I even got a "deal" on my Brother machine. But that alone was 2100 so yeah. Fabric not so sure since I have been weeding out quite a bit in the last year. My tastes have changed and I donated a bunch of fabric to a church group after my yard sale was a bust. You guys would have hit that sale in a heartbeat I even had vintage machines. LOL But here no one sews I guess.
Age soon I am 58 this year. Hmm when did that happen??
I guess I have a studio since my machine is out all the time. I live in what was my daughters family room and a small part is my bedroom . I have my priorities straight.
