- Gigachad 1y ago100%. There’s quite a few things I’ve got now which would be thousands of dollars to have someone else make for me but cost very little to make myself. Just requiring a few weekends of work. Stuff that feels quite luxury to own.
- zavec 1y agoThis sounds interesting! Are you able to share any specifics, or would that be too personal?
- Gigachad 1y agoI wanted a custom kigurumi like these[1] but didn’t want to fork over thousands of dollars for one. Ended up buying a sewing machine and fleece, learning to sew while making it. Was a bit of a brutal first project but after about 2 months off and on work in my free time I was able to complete it. Was then able to make 5 more of them for friends. The later ones were significantly easier. Also made myself a custom plushie which would have cost around $1000AUD had I commissioned someone to make it. After doing it all, I can say, yeah the prices actually are fair if you need to actually make a living off it, but also you can just do it yourself with a $300 sewing machine and some determination.
