The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 29, 2024

Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. When college was looming, my parents offered to let me live at home cost-free while I was in college, as their contribution to my higher education. There’s always been garage sales/flea markets, library, state parks, fishing.

In many parts of the US, people learned to sew as part of their life skills – from parents or family or schools. Sewing is an art. Of course, if you do enjoy the art and craft of making things with material and thread, you may want to try to save money on equipment and supplies and lessons. Clothing is cheap, sewing is not.
