Ideas, blogs, and sewing tidbits

Ever since I got my sewing machine I've been scouring the web for ideas for fun projects. While technically I could spend all day looking at beautiful fabrics, that really wouldn't be productive. So I'm starting to create a list of great sewing blogs and tutorials for upcoming projects.

The blogs:

ISLY

Craftzine

Freshly Picked

How About Orange

Readymade Blog

Sew Mama Sew

Esty How to Tuesday

Simply Handmade Blog

Very Purple Person

The books:

Bend the Rules Sewing by Amy Karol

Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter

In Stiches by Amy Butler

One Yard Wonders by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins (which I already own and I've made 2 pieces from)

Applique Your Way by Kayte Terry

What I'll be working on in the coming months:

Ruffle headband

My own clothing labels

Skinny jeans

Easy full skirt

Pillow with rosette clusters

 

Do you have any books or projects to share?

I just got One Yard Wonders in the mail the other day, and I am so excited to try some of the projects. Pretty sure the pups are getting new collars!
