Are you starting to notice how much you’re spending on your quilting hobby? Or are you currently trying to learn how to quilt but have a limited budget?

Do you know that quilting doesn’t have to be so expensive?

Well, at least there are options I would say.

Of course, you can go all out and buy all the best things out there for your quilting craft, but you’ll soon find out that it can be quite addictive and costly to keep this hobby.

In this post, I’ll share 8 ways to make quilting work on a budget.

I started quilting when I was a graduate student, and I have tried lots of ways to keep the spending to a minimum. Which involves lots of thrifting and yard-sale hunting and just winging it with whatever I have in hand.

I have a couple of projects going on at the moment. None of them is really at the finish end, but I am really enjoying the process and jumping from one project to another.

However, my sewing room is not loving it that much. More projects at one time also mean that lots of things are out of their box and literally they are everywhere.

Well, I probably need to get back to focus on one or two projects only at a time soon as I am getting the overwhelming feeling with the mess around already. I still need to think how I can easily have all my fabrics ready to cut without folding them back again.

I have ironed most of the fabrics for the Patchwork Barn which I introduced to you earlier in this post. Since I plan for a scrappy quilt, I have many, many, many fabrics around.

I am thinking of hanging it on the hanger till next use.

Anyway, this few weeks have gotten me some great progress on the blocks. And in this post, I’ll share the progress of my Patchwork Barn Quilt with you.

Do you have limited sewing area? Or do you sew in the dining area? Are you looking to add a craft table to the space?

If you have a large space for sewing, lucky you. I know some of us do have the whole basement or attic to make it into their sewing space and I do envy them a little 🙂

If you don’t have the right space just yet, don’t worry, I suggest you try and make the most out of what you have now. I am pretty sure everyone starts from nothing. And later you can gauge your interest in having a dedicated space for sewing and maybe plan for it the next time you move, or renovate the house.

In this post, I’ll share some of the best craft tables or sewing tables that are space-saving for your small sewing space.
