I love sewing, I find it really addictive. I've made all of the curtains in my house, table cloths, cussions, summer quilts for the kids beds. I haven't tried making clothes yet, mainly because by the time I buy the fabric, pattern etc etc, it works out more expensive than buying from a store.

Once you have total success with your first pair of curtains you'll never want to pay for a pair ready made again I bet.

Good luck with the needle and thread, although perhaps try freecycle for a sewing machine?

Maybe if you make a thread on the 'i wanna' board you might get some takers, the only thing i could suggest is ebay, althouhg things dont seem to be as cheap as the shops these days.
