I know you get it...You see a dress in the shop - only $37 and your brain automatically chimes in with:
“But I could totally make that.”

And then you proceed to spend:
• $25 on fabric
• $15 on notions
• $15 on a pattern
• 3 days of actual sewing
• Mental cost of unpicking the same seam three times 😅

You've seen all those funny memes, they're based on real-life experiences!

😂😂😂

It ends up costing way more! Just in your time alone.
That's 'sewing math'!

But...

…ending up with a garment that fits your shape and your style.
Is Priceless!

That’s the real 'Sewist's Math'.

It might not always add up, but it always makes sense.

Do you find yourself using "Sewist's Math"? Sometimes even without realising it?
It's just so hard to buy things you know you could make (and make better)!
The struggle is real. 🤣
