    Default A site like this for garment sewing?

    Hi, All,

    I have found this forum invaluable since joining last fall. I can't believe how long I quilted without you all! I'm just beginning to get into garment sewing--sew different from quilting, but it MIGHT be just as much fun...eventually. Does anyone know of a site like this for garment sewing?

    I don't know about boards like this one but http://www.sewing.org/ has some great guidelines for sewing.

    Went to this site and if anyone is looking for other ideas for their sewing rooms, after an hour I had to quit looking. Thanks for sharing.

    I was a garment sewist for many years before I ever made my first quilt. I make quilts more now, but recently I made a flannel robe for my hubby. The pattern I used should have been burned for the worse ever instructions; glad I mostly knew what I was doing. Don't ever buy Butterick patterns if you value your sanity.
