For those who want a contemporary take on their sewing projects don’t miss browsing the sewing section of the ReadyMade site where there are loads of economical and green DIY projects. Many are quick and easy to make so if you only have basic sewing skills don’t fear there is plenty of stuff for you there.

I know everyone is blogging links to various tutorials and free patterns for sewing projects that are suitable for gifts. ReadyMade is another site which has ooddles to offer.  

So over you next sewing break make a cuppa and browse for instruction, ideas, and inspiration. The sections I find of most interest is organise it, craft it, sew it and of course this time of year celebrate it!
