New Site (To Me)

Today I was cruising the web in search of a reasoably priced coverstitch machine. I'm not really sure if I need one, but I figured I would start doing my research now. As I was looking through online sewing stores and craiglist it got me to thinking "I wish there was a sewing site similiar to Ravelry." I love how you can go to the forum and find people who are selling their gently used or brand new knitting, crocheting, spinning and weaving supplies. I also love that I can see what people are working on, what independent designer are selling or giving away for free as well, as ravelrers (is that a word. lol) interpretation of things. So on a fluke I decided to Google "Is there a sewing site like Ravelry". I know there are places like Patternreview and individual forums, but to me they always seem to be missing something or aren't very easy to navigate. Well, today I discovered mysewingplace.com. It's a community very similiar to Ravelry, which the creator said was her inspiration. Since it's in the Beta stages it's missing some of the bells and whistles of Ravelry, but you can clearly see where they are going with it. I've already started logging in my current projects, which are coming along slowly but coming along. I hope to have at least two of my projects finished and posted this weekend.

I hope everyone takes an opportunity to check this place out and help build it to the same community level as Ravelry. I think it's would be a great place to see what our sewing friends are working on, meet new people, discover new blogs, discuss new pattern releases, as well as discover releases by up and coming independent designer, and there are quite a few great new ones out there. I'm really excited about this.

Until late, Happy Sewing!!!
