I’ve done both, but this time of year is when I am getting ready to write final exams so I prefer to buy a nice handmade item because I don’t have time to spare to make it myself.

I’d purchase something already handmade/crafted. I’m a procrastinator so I know that if i bought the supplies it would probably never get started, let alone finished

I have to enter this giveaway. Love the pattern – so cute. Mytryoshkas/babushkas are one of my favourite things. I have a small collection but I can see it expanding over time…

To answer your question, it would depend. If the product was really unique and appealing and I knew I would struggle to do it myself then I would buy the product. But it the pattern/makings were something that I felt I could handle or challenge myself with learning something new then I would buy the pattern. I always have a great sense of achievement when I’ve made something myself.

If the project is one I can do, I will buy the supplies. But I would never hesitate to buy the finished project if I couldn’t do it myself. In fact, thinking about it, I would buy a finished project for time constraint reasons, too.

I’m much more likely to purchase the supplies to do a project. I mostly stitch for the process of stitching; the finished project isn’t necessarily why I’m doing a particular project.

Cute dolls! They remind me of my trip to Russia.

Depending on the price and time. If the finished product is within beyond my budget, I will buy the pattern.

Adorable patterns, Gretchen!

I tend to buy many more patterns than I do finished items. However, just because I purchase the pattern doesn’t mean I ever actually MAKE it! LOL
