10 Must Follow Sewing Facebook Pages

After blogging for a long time….. first post is back in March 2008.  Yeah…it’s been awhile!    But in that time I have been following some pretty awesome stitchers and quilters. The online world is a great place with so many ways you can connect with designers, sewers..etc.  Whether they be big wigs in the business or small potatoes, it’s not about the size that matters, but their content, attitude and passion that they share. As much as facebook upsets us, there is some great wealth of knowledge in there.  So much to see and learn.  It’s a blend of links, images, video’s.  It’s full of inspiration and can be a place to get to know others a little more on a personal basis. This little list is just a start of those that I follow.   I can’t include everyone, but for now we’ll stick with 10. An On-Line Community offering sewing tips, easy projects & craft inspiration for all ages.  Heather has been the go-to gal when it comes to sewing tips and hints.  She seriously has a bundle and is always posting something new!  Along with her hints, she shares clothing tutorials, has the occasional swap, and every year in September celebrates national sewing month she has wonderful posts, shares others who are just as talented and a giveaway. The Sewing Loft Facebook Think of Patchwork Posse as your online quilt group.  Full of tutorials, challenges, quilt alongs and more.  This online community is where you’ll find an eclectic mix of tutorials for bags, quilts, dolls, mug rugs, aprons and more!  There is something for everyone….if not, we’ll find it and share it! Patchwork Posse Facebook Welcome to Crazy Little Projects where I show off my latest crazy projects and show you how you can do them too.  Sewing, crafting, creating, having fun with kids.  Amber’s site is full of tutorials –including her ever famous hooded towel tutorial collection.  She also mixes in some fabulous recipes and kids projects.  Crazy Little Projects Facebook She focuses mostly on long arm quilting – and it’s fabulous! Ruby Blue Quilts Facebook Inspiring you every day with something beautiful to sew.  Caroline has a fantastic site….there is so much to see and sew!  She features others tutorials as well as designs her own.  This is a very well rounded sewing blog that covers the whole gamete of topics.  Her monthly applique pattern {free} is a great place to start.  SewCanShe Facebook The home of great quilting deals. Check out the Quilter’s Daily Deal, 30%-100% off quilting supplies everyday! Missouri Star Quilts Facebook You’ll find everything quilting and magazine inspiration here. American Patchwork Facebook The Long threads journey came when she increasingly begun to appreciate the value of handmade items in this mass-produced world. So now she loves to sew little clothes for her girls, make quilts, or work on any crafty project that can teach something new.  Ellen has been an inspiration from me from the beginning.  Her sewing journey includes dolls and plushies along with quilts, which I love.  The long thread is all about sharing knowledge in a simple to understand way.  Everything is very doable if you are a new sewer or an oldie but goodie. The Long Thread Facebook Fabric designer and stitchery extraordinaire, you won’t find anyone else so delightful.  Lynette shares her talent of needle and thread in tutorials, sew alongs and her growing patterns.  The drawings explore the outdoors…along with her favorite dog and cat pair.  Simple to stitch and it really is a lot of fun to experience her world of design, teaching and stitching.  She shares it all.  I have been a big fan for like…forever. Lynette Anderson Designs Facebook “If it’s still ugly, you just didn’t cut it small enough!!” ~Bonnie K Hunter  Yeah.  That’s what I love about Quiltville and Bonnie!  It’s her sew it up and get it done attitude.  I’ve been a big fan since the beginning of time.  She explores sewing quilt with clothes, using orphan quilt blocks in her designs and going simple with patterns, but it looks complicated when complete!  Quiltville is always sharing fun quilt alongs and her spunky, fun attitude shines through.  If you are interested in sewing up scraps…this is the place you need to go!
