If you adhere to a strict discipline of buying only cheap fabrics on sale, yes it does save money, especially when sewing for me like others said. But even for Eve, if I wait for good sales, it's worth it. I just bought a nice knit at 1$ (CDN, so about .60 US), and I'm going to get 1 sleeper and 2 shirts for about 1.30 US + the price of the zipper for the sleeper. Hard to beat !
I find that the cheapest way to go is to decide on what to sew based on what you find - kind of "going with the flow", or "going with the finds". If I have an idea in mind and start looking for the right fabric, it almost always ends up costing as much as RTW, if not more. But then I have the satisfaction of having sewn a garment just like I wanted.
