Mardel and SKM, particularly, have invested time, care and photo essays?! to ameliorate the tough times. I can't wait for a day when I might help a novice sewist to understand her first projects. Seriously, with this hobby, I've received so much goodwill that I must pass it on.
Here are some daily reads, which offer me insight, new techniques, resources and community. If you sew / are interested in the art - newbie or veteran - these sites are terrific.
- Sew Distracted - the thoughtful sewist
- Super Kawaii Mama - the sassy sewist meets sassy pinup and sassy mum
- Erica B's DIY Style - incredible, advanced sewist, incredibly chic results
- Gertie's Blog for Better Sewing - a MUST for lovers of vintage, Gretchen does vlog tutorials
- Angry Chicken - gets award for blog name that would least make you think of sewing!
- Sew I Do / Very Purple Person - this woman is so creative and her son is a doll...
- Fashion Incubator - the original blog about sustainable manufacturing and behind the scenes of the biz (This woman kind of freaks me out!)
- Gigi Sews -real person, real sewing
- Threads Magazine - speaks for itself
- L'il Miss Muffett - lingerie-seamstress extraordinaire (I am so interested in that!)

ReplyDeletedo you know what I tried on a dress yesterday to consider buying in the future for a wedding when I realised I should make one! The money would be better spent on sewing machine, fabric and cotton. I'm so pleased and I'll get the style of dress I want to wear!
