Sew Cheap

When I first began sewing I didn't know whether it would be something I did every now and then or the full blown obsession it's become. I didn't want to invest a lot of money to begin with. While there are some must have purchases (e.g. sewing machine, sewing kit etc) I found that sewing on a budget came easily and was often very convenient too (downloading and printing a free PDF pattern). While I am now happy to spend $$ for special projects I still like to sew cheap where I can. I especially enjoy trying out freely available patterns. In 2014 II've made myself a sewing goal: 

Make 12 new-to-me free patterns, one for each month, and review them here.
