YEY..

Yesterday I saw on tv an interview with a person selling fabric,
He told the audience that sales of fabric, needle and thread have been soring ever since the 'depression' the economy is in..

I think this is realy the same trend we are seeing here..

People decide to DIY instead of depending on costly solutions.
