In honor of National Sewing Month
Hehe.... I am copying Rostitchery... and in some ways, challenging her to a duel. I, Dianna Leigh, hereby pledge to make 1 sewing post per day for the remaining days in the month of September! :) I feel like this would be a perfect way to revive my blog and a fun way to share the knowledge that I have struggled to gain from everywhere. :) Now, my blog is just a supplement to the most wonderful sites and blogs out there. Here are a few recommendations:
  1. Craftster -very 'hip' little site that I had to pitch an out and out hissy on to get a childrens section added. :( I ended up leaving the community memberwise, and they finally caved and added a childrens section :) I go back ever so often just to see the creations!!! :)
  2. Sewing Mamas - a great site with free pattern and tip downloads for members! All about sewing for the kiddos, and sometimes the moms!
  3. Rostitchery - She has patterns and tips on many items! The most popular being the one seam convertible dress! She also has the pillowcase dress, nursing tops and even knitting!!! This woman does it all!!!!!! I bow to her! :)
  4. Everything Sewing - This site is more about heirloom sewing! I love this wonderful group of ladies!!! :) They have always answered my questions! And Brook even has a homesteading group! :D I love them all! :)

If you haven't heard me already speak of the Bettendorfs, you absolutely must see their blog! :) I 'met' Katie on Craftster, where she posted outfits she had sewn for her children! :) Unfortunately, Jillie was diagnosed with cancer and undergone treatment. :) But, she is now CANCER FREE! :) I just love this family and feel like I know them intimately!!! This is a SUPERMOM to be reckoned with!! :) Visit Katie, her husband Jeff, and there 11 (soon to be 12) kids at their main site! Want a great reason to visit Katie's family blog? :D She has a contest going on right now! Click in her sidebar to enter for a chance to win HelpMeet!!! :)
