Recently, a few friends and I have gotten pretty crafty. Before you pass judgment on my new found hobby, I'm not the only one that's taken to sewing these days. By way of example, Spool on South Street has recently become a new hot spot for 20 something philadelphians looking for a creative outlet. The adorable store offers sewing and quilting classes, crafting events, and fabric that makes your mouth water. For example, Amy Butler Fabrics - it's not for your grandmother - but rather, would look amazing for a tunic, a pillow, or a cute bag. The patterns are utterly to die for.
Also, blogs are sprouting all over the internet advising yuppies how to craft and sew their way to cute accessories, cozy apartments, and totally enviable clothing. Just start googling and instead of spending precious and slim savings on wardrobe or decorating overhauls that may be passe in a year (or by next season), invest some time (and not money). If you don't know how to sew try a class or make an effort to learn yourself.
