Ok guys, I feel that my links have become embarrassingly outdated. A long while back, I just threw up some of my favorite links and haven’t had a chance to revise them or seek out new ones.
I think it’s important that we get to know our community of fellow sewers, so I’m putting a call out! I’d love it if you could comment and tell me a little about your sewing or crating related blog. Please write in your comments:
- Your name (first name is fine, or if you prefer some other nickname or handle, that’s a-ok)
- The name of your blog
- The link to your blog
- A short (140 characters or less) description of your blog
Your blog should have something to do with sewing or making, even if that’s not the primary focus. Please no links to non-blogs (etsy stores, etc).
I’m going to go through all the links you give me and add them to my blogroll, and I’m also planning to add a rotating “featured reader blog” spot that will have a link and the description of your blog.
To keep this manageable, I will keep this open for one week, so you have until Wednesday, March 10, then I will close comments. Thank you all, I can’t wait to check out your links!

Hi I’m Clare and you can find me at http://luckymia.blogspot.com/ I am quite new to blogging, and started my own after discovering some great ones out there! The main focus is supposed to be sewing and fabrics, but other topics have found their way in.
Hi! I am Katia and my blog Plushka’s Craft is here:
http://www.plushkacraft.blogspot.com/. I’ve been bloging only since July last year but already celebrated my 100′s post:) The main focus is cross-stitch, however I sew quite a bit:) I love sewing from linen or Japanese fabric. I am inspired by France and cute Japanese style. Hope you like my blog:)
Thank you!
I’m Enken and Whipstitch Sewing is where I blog! For me, sewing is a way of proclaiming my independence in a culture that is always trying to tell us what we should wear and how we should look. While I focus mainly on sewing with vintage patterns, I also riff on knitting, books, sewing accessories and living la vida crafty in sunny South Australia.
Hi Sarai, I’m Ripple and I blog about sewing clothing and life’s little necessities from the western North Carolina mountains. An interest (sometimes obsessive) in vintage sewing machines has also crept into my life and my blog. Thanks for asking!
Hi there!
I’m Carisa, and my blog is called Vintage Red Patterns at http://vintageredpatterns.blogspot.com/ :-) I recently started my blog to chronicle my attempt at learning to regrade vintage patterns so I can someday turn my mound of vintage patterns into multi-sized patterns that everyone can enjoy and use. Other topics float in and out but it’s all about sewing both vintage and modern.
Hope you like it and thanks! :-D
Hi!
I’m Mary and Wundermary is my superhero name. I’ve grown up sewing and embroidering with my mom and working on cars and building projects with my brothers. So, my blog is a funny mish-mash of whatever I’m up to. That may include the house rehab project I’m working on, a current beading or sewing project, gardening (in season), a foray into baking or pure life randomness.
Thank you for the invite to introduce myself!

Fehr Trade is my showcase for my sewing exploits and forays into design. I have a clean modern style with a penchant for tailoring and vintage details. Come see what I’ve made and be inspired!
Hi, I’m Ellie and I’m new to blogging. I started http://goodmorningidea.blogspot.com/ to keep track of all of my craft projects. I am also new to sewing and just got a machine for Christmas. Next week I’ll be putting up one of my first sewing projects – a dress.
Hi, I’m Jana and my blog is http://biselmeshugeh.blogspot.com/. I’m also new to blogging. I wanted to have an outlet for my sewing inspiration, love of vintage, and crazy thoughts that pop into my head from time to time. :)
I’m Katie and my blog (and business) is called Burjeune. I studied textile design in college and am just getting back into the swing of “making” again after a couple of years off. My work includes mostly sewing, knitting, and printing fabrics. I also have a little Etsy shop where I am selling some of my wares.
Hi, my name is Adelaide and my blog is Pretty Sweet.
http://craftprettysweet.blogspot.com/
It chronicles my sewing and sometimes knitting projects. I am slowly building up my skills and am currently working on more complex projects, many of them vintage or vintage inspired.

Hello, my name is Darlene and my blog is Natural Violet.
http://www.naturalviolet.blogspot.com
My blog is about sewing and knitting for my little guy. I make clothes for my son from thrift store finds. I also dye hemp fabric and make lots of cloth diapers. I love changing patterns and trying out new designs.
Hi! I’m Jos and I’m new to sewing. My sewing blog is SewJosa http://sewjosa.blogspot.com/
I love reading sewing blogs, but I’m too shy to comment. I’m starting to realise how much more fun it would be to be part of a sewing community, and I’m starting with a comment on this thread as this is a fantastic idea!
So glad you did, welcome Jos!
Hi, I’m Tasia and I just started my blog Sewaholic (http://sewaholic.net/) as a way for me to justify my sewing hobby and give me an excuse to explore my passion for fabric, sewing, fashion and style.
This is such a good idea as I’ve been searching for inspirational sewing blogs. I look forward to seeing the finished list – it’s going to be huge!
I’m a huge fan of your patterns. I started sewing regularly back in Sept 2009 as a way of taking my mind off work. I decided to start my blog, stitchlikeagirl.blogspot.com so I could document my projects and hopefully inspire others in the same way I’ve been inspired by all those ridiculously amazing sewing blogs out there.
I’m Kristin and I blog at See Mommy Sew (http://seemommysew.wordpress.com). It’s mostly just a diary of my sewing projects, though sometimes I’ll do a tutorial and my kids sneak in their sometimes. I’m starting to sew clothing for me, so your patterns are perfect (and lovely).
Hello Sarai, I’m Collette, and I blog at Serendipity Handmade, a blog for the vintage enthusiast. I have just started sewing again after a 20-year break, so along with my sewing projects I also feature my other crafting adventures in crocheting, paper crafts, etc. I talk about vintage sewing patterns, thrifting, estate sale finds, and my vintage collections quite a lot.
And of course, I love the name of your sewing pattern collection…great choice! (*wink*)
Hi, Sarai! I’m Monet and I blog at http://www.madebymonet.wordpress.com (so creative, I know). I write primarily about quilting and garment sewing–sometimes vintage, sometimes modern, but often both.
Thank you so much for including me on your blogroll, and for your amazing patterns and constant inspiration. Your blog is a wonderful place to chat with and learn about other sewers.
Hi Sarai– I only just stumbled on your blog a little while back, & have it listed within the ‘happy new finds’ part of my blogroll.
I mostly make softies, and so that is what I blog about, as well as other little side projects like quilts, and useful things. My blog address is: http://www.blinkingflights.typepad.com
I’m really loving your posts!
Hello Sarai, my name is Antoinette and I recently bought my first Colette pattern and hope to sew it soon! I blog at http://www.clevergirl.org about sewing — mostly apparel, mostly for grown-ups, a few tutorials and patterns, some reconstructions and the rest “origins”. I also just downloaded the knickers pattern and am excited about it!
Hello, I´m Nadja and I blog about my sewing experiments at “En salig blandning” which you can translate to “A mixture of everything”.
I sew clothes to me and my family, mostly inspired by vintage and rockabilly.
My name is Meagan, and my blog is called “sewing is my ps3″ at meagangracie.wordpress.com – I haven’t had time to post much lately, but my blog is mostly about the quilts I make, and about the clothes I sew when I have enough time to take pictures of them.
Hello! My name is Natasha (aka NattyJane) and I recently started a blog called All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go. In my blog I document my sewing and any other creative directions that I may wander (drawing, painting, needlepoint, knitting, etc?).
Thanks!
Natasha
I write about eating closer to home (cooking at home, supporting local farmers, thinking about the ethics or eating), and I often write about sewing or knitting projects as well. I think there’s a real connection between learning how to make what we eat and wear, and developing a sense of home. The blog is Localizing – do stop by and check it out.
Hi, I”m Becca and you can find me at http://knittymama.com where I knit, spin and sew. Most of the sewing I do is for my boys but I try do a little for myself too. I also write about motherhood and general creativity, with a little cooking and gardening as well!
Hi there! Rachel from The Style Social here. I started my blog originally to speak about personal style and trends, but it has morphed into something more of a meditation on creating and developing a lifestyle through sewing and making. I’m a self-taught (and still learning!) designer, and you’ll see my progress and obstacles along the way.
Hello! I love the look of your patterns but haven’t yet sewn one up… just quietly stalking finished objects on Patternreview and in blogs for the meantime.
My blog is at featherandfan.wordpress.com–lots of knitting and a bit of sewing, spinning, miscellaneous blathering.
Hi, I’m Christina and my little crafty blog is ‘A Little Bird Told Me’ – http://alittlebirdtoldme-craft.blogspot.com/.
Although my mother was a seamstress as I grew up and she taught me how to sew, knit and crochet, it wasn’t until I pregnant with my son and wanted him to have handmade toys that I rediscovered my love of craft. My blog follows my creative life, be it mothering, crocheting or collecting.

Mikhaela Reid here–I’ve been blogging as a political cartoonist since 2001, but JUST started a dedicated sewing/style blog called “Polka Dot OverLoad” (http://polkadotoverload.blogspot.com/) featuring pattern reviews, sewing projects in progress, style inspiration, both vintage and modern, and cartoons on style and body image.
Here’s how I described myself on the site: “Cartoonist and graphic designer with delusions of making as many of my own clothes as possible and an irrational attraction to bright colors, bold prints and sewing projects far out of my skill set.”
Hi there! My name is Carolyn
My blog is: Rockin’ the Rococo
http://brocadegoddess.wordpress.com/
I’m not entirely sure how well it fits in, it’s sort of a costume blog. It documents a reproduction project I did last year in conjunction with my MA in dress history. I reproduced 6 ensembles of a middle class englishwoman’s wardrobe c. 1750-1770 all by hand (as in no machine) and while wearing a corset!
hello!
My name is Leslie and my blog, Cherry Bubbins, is my record of projects, thoughts and photographs as I search for domestic bliss through sewing, creating, organizing and simplifying.
Find me here: http://cherrybubbins.blogspot.com/
Thanks! leslie

Miss Alison Regrets
http://www.missalisonregrets.wordpress.com
With her sharp wit (and tongue firmly in cheek) Miss Alison Regrets is the evil feminist twin of the otherwise demure & exceedingly polite Fran Alison. Miss Alison Regrets is obsessed with all things vintage, Viggo Mortensen, making things, thinking about making things, buying things for making things and sharing the crafty love (which means other people’s blogs). Miss Alison Regrets has excellent taste in books, music and fabric, and is not to be trifled with. (nor taken terribly seriously)
Hi, this is Zoe (AKA Zozowahine). My blog is ‘So, Zo’ at :http://sozowhatdoyouknow.blogspot.com/
I document my sewing exploits and write about my thoughts on handmade culture, alternative consumption and creative inspiration. I have also started a weekly International Fabric Swap, and Stash Bustin’ challenge. Presently I am doing a self-imposed challenge called me-Made-March and document everyday of it on my blog. Thanks Sarai! x
Hello there! My name is Hanna. My blog is “ever green knits” (http://evergreenknits.blogspot.com).
It’s a knitting blog, with kind of a focus on nature-inspired projects and earth-friendly yarns. I just started sewing, so I expect that to start creeping in soon ….
Oh I’m so stoked for this! My name’s Christina and my blog is http://jchristinahuh.blogspot.com/ (so much for protecting my identity :P).
Unemployment has left me a lot of time, so I’ve been doing what I wish I were doing during school and internships: making. I document my wins (citrus truffles!) and failures (soon to come on the dreaded curtains). And even though I concluded that my journalism degree is worthless, I’m still a huge fan of good writing and radio, so I often share what I’ve read and listened to.
Hello. My name is Amy and my blog (www.helenethelstudiobfflogspot.com) is only a few posts old. It will chronicle my adventures and misadventures into sewing . I am very new to sewing and have only been doing it seriously for a little over a month. I will also use it to keep track of other projects- such as the jewelry that I make and the treats that I like to bake and
prepare : )
wow, i didn’t realize i was nearly a month late for this. oh well. :)
:)
So sweet of you to do this Sarai and I am so grateful to be in such a list and have such a convenient place to spy other super cute blogs!
(can you go fix my name though? it is with an “i”, promise. :) )
Thanks!
-Wendi
Sorry Wendi, it should be fixed now!
Aww shucks! No problem at all and Thanks!
