The Ultimate Sewing Market
October 3rd, 2007 by JuliaImagine you come upon the most amazing market place. Colourful stalls are overflowing with wild fabrics, rare books, unusual buttons, software and patterns. The place is abuzz with the chattter of people passionate about sewing. You feel inspired and excited by all these wonderul ideas. You are moved by the generousity of people wanting to help you.
You stroll around taking in the incredible diversity of offerings. Gradually you notice that this market seems to include things for all sorts of people. You see patterns for elderly folk, tiny prem babies and people who are disabled. You see things for celebrations, hobbies, problem solving and silly stuff just for fun. There is no shop on earth like this one. This is a true community market place and everyone is welcome here.
This is no fantasy - this is a real website. It has taken Lily Abello ten years to assemble this Sewing Resource Guide. It is the most amazing list of nearly 1000 very special sewing web sites. It is the first entry in The Sewing Circle directory and I think you’ll agree Lily’s is a remarkable achievement. So go and have a look - you are in for a real treat.

Hi Julia
I was inspired by the sewing market even before looking at it! Your wonderful description had me imagining the most wonderful creative projects. I wasn’t disappointed - the market is an amazing piece of work and I can imagine using it even just to get inspired!
Your site is great - it has already made me think quite differently about my past projects. Thank you!
