Are there any frugal ways to craft??

You could go to yard sales or estate sales and get some fabric maybe. Or sometimes Craft stores have fabric that is only $1 per yard. Dollar Tree stores have scrap booking supplies for $1 a thing too. From what I have seen they have quite a selection too.

One wonderful way to not only use your sewing expertise but also make a wonderful gift for a family member is to use their cast off clothing to make them a quilt. It will give them wonderful memories of that wonderful shirt, dress or pair of pants. You can use a blanket for the batting and a sheet for the backing. Also, I do a lot of my fabric shopping at Wal Mart. They get fabrics in for a dollar a yard. You do have to be careful as some of the fabrics have a ton of filler in them. Also check to see if there is a "free cycle", Craigs list or zzstar in your area. They are on line groups that will have stuff for free or a small charge. I love cruising the sites to see what is there that I can use.

Scrap quilting is pretty thrifty. You can hit the remnant bins for fabric. Knitting is also pretty thrify if you stay away from the speciality yarns.
