These questions are really not the kind that anyone can answer for you. It depends on cloth prices on your realm, how much cloth you have on hand, how much your friend gives you, and how much you're willing to gather. For enchanting, it depends on how much you D/E, what if anything you pay for the items you D/E, and how many (if any) mats you buy from auction to level.

Your best bet is to take a look at some tailoring/enchanting pattern/formula lists, figure out which patterns/formulas you'll use to level, figure out how much you have on hand, and go from there. I've never plotted a profession from 1-???, I just work it out as I go. Keep in mind that you'll have to level your new alt before you can really level their professions all that much, so you'll have plenty of time to work out the details.

I do not see any problem with tailoring or enchanting and have not paid out more than about 100g (some items needed for tailoring were easier to buy than farm ) to get either of my alts that do the combo to level 40+ and level 300 but both with selling the spare dusts ect have made plenty of gold , my horde Mage has made over 7000g just from disenchanting , yes i know that was also buying armour and weapons that were cheap from the auction house and did take up some time , but that was done while i was waiting to build up some rested time to make levelling faster.

As long as you farm for cloth as you level and disenchant everything you get ( include anything useful your alts collect ) and also play the auction house a little for any cheap items that are worth more disenchanted then the cost is minimal , i know as i have a second alt alliance Mage doing the combo now that has over 1500g left after buying a few blue items for herself .

Chanting and tailoring are only expensive if you decide to level them off of the AH - otherwise they're cheap as heck.

To level the two just pharm lower level instances with your main - DE the greens and blues for chanting and save up the cloth for tailoring, then, DE any tailoring combines you make for more chanting skill ups.

Do that and you can level both of those skills for free.

Its all depending on your server. But I leveled 1-400 tailoring without farming a single item and did it in under 1000 gold. Enchanting on the other hand is INCREDIBLY expensive if you don't farm and DE the mats yourself. Do yourself a favor and just level it as you go making sure to try and kill stuff that drops cloth and DEing your greens. Also just bid on everything thats cheap. I usually spend like 500 gold on bids..win 10-20 items get most of the money back and DE what i did win. Saves me money but it takes time.

I've just been rating him down every time I see him - figure he'll subdefault off the board eventually.
