Making your own clothes is cheaper than buying is not a statement that holds true for everyone. Even if you have a great interest in sewing or even an expert on it, making your own clothes is not always cheaper. For example, making your jeans is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive compared to looking for a comfortable pair in the mall. For some people, it would be cheaper to make their own clothes than buy them. Some people sew their own clothes because they cannot find the right clothing they want to wear in stores. Either nothing off-the-rack fits or the design or color of the clothing available does not match what they have in mind. If you are one in this situation and have a great interest in sewing, it is a perfect idea to make your own, do not expect it to come cheap. Making your own clothes may save you some bucks on labor costs, but you must invest in time and materials. It might not be an economical option, but as a sewing hobbyist, it is the more satisfying and happier choice.
