Your Favorite Blogs and Websites

I'm relatively new to sewing on a machine.  I am slowly learning to sew basic dresses for my daughter.  I also enjoy knitting, smocking, and have just tackled embroidery, which I'm loving so far.  I'm also obsessed with various sewing/fiber art blogs and websites.  I spend more time on those than on my actual projects!  So I'd really like to know what your favorites are.  I just love finding out new sites to visit.  I recently learned of www.pimpstitch.com from this site.  Some of my other favorites, besides this one of course!, are:

This website isn't dedicated to fiber arts, but often features sewing and other fiber art projects.  Best of all it is frequently updated.

The Purl Bee

I have a blog where I post links to tutes and sites I love - check it out at http://craftytammie.blogspot.com - & all of the ones previously mentioned are pretty great!  Also, if you are new to sewing, you should check out Amy Karol's Bend the Rules sewing book - LOVE it.

Thanks for all these sites.  I'm going to warm up my coffee and have an "indepth" look.

oh boy!  even more sites to distract me from my research ;-)  i've heard of/read a lot of those, but there are quite a few new ones to me   thanks for all the links!

I have so many favorites that I started a Netvibes page to keep track of them! It's an easy way to keep up with multiple blogs. You might like http://thelongthread.com or http://madebyrae.blogspot.com. They are both lovely!

One of my favourite blogs is by a Danish woman called Astrid.  Her site has lovely photos and beautiful projects, mostly clothes she's sewed for her 2 little girls.  Check it out.

A relatively new quilting blogger is Red Pepper Quilts in Australia. Seeing her quilts is very encouraging and also gives me lots of ideas. She already has quite a large following, and I know you would enjoy her posts. (redpepperquilts.blogspot.com)

I just came across this great bog about the Perfect 1/4" seam.  Check it out!!

Worth a read if you sometimes have trouble maintaining consistent 1/4" seams!

Have you checked this one out yet?  http://sewing.patternreview.com/   There are so many pattern reviews on there, plus reviews of sewing books, fabric stores and sewing machines.  There are also articles, sewing classes, and monthly contests, although I haven't used any of those features yet.
