Not only in skill but also material. Time used for making crafts with good and cheap quality is the same.
Unless, you know what to do with cheap material. But if not,if it's only for the sake of lowering cost,better reconsider about it.
I should learn from my bag projects.I used to use cheap material.the result wasn't maximum.
I did with my doll project, too.
But now, this is it! I won't push myself to use inappropriate material for the sake of lowering cost.
Though it's still forb personal use, still, I hate to see 'wrong, a no no' projects around me.
I used less expensive materials sometimes but it's not for the lowering cost purpose. It's simply lucky if the materials suit my design and the price isn't expensive. I'm just lucky!
Yet! No pushing myself to use this material.
