At the beginning of the year I received an invitation from Mari Miller, the designer of Seamster Patterns, to participate in a blog event that would eventually include 21 indie designers. The goal was to learn more about each other, promote friendships, and give us an opportunity to share in our spirit of cooperation with the sewing community.
We have all conducted interviews and written tutorials for each other that will be posted every weekday throughout the month, including four sew-alongs in four different style categories. And just for you, we have collected over $1000 in prizes! This has turned out to be a block-buster event (thanks to Mari!!) so it's time to clear your calendar and get ready for
Sewing Indie Month!
