I have to say, I've discovered a whole new world of crafty link up parties. I have a few impressions...
A. There are a lot of them. A lot.
B. The same people link to many of them. Sometimes people will post the same blog post to 8 to 10 different link ups. This means more exposure for them, but it is fairly annoying.
C. They are mostly too broad. It is hard to go through 300 links and find the things you are actually interested in seeing. Don't get me wrong, I love a cute furniture makeover but I'm probably not going to be painting a wall or even a picture frame anytime in the near future. I think it is amazing those of you that can do that but if I'm going to spend 20 minutes looking through links for inspiration I want to maximize my time. Which brings me to D.
D. Where are the purely "sewing things you wear" link ups? I'd start one, but seriously, 3 people would link, and that would depress me!
Completely unrelated, I'm floating an idea in my head. There have been many, many people who have told me that they have a sewing machine but "could never" sew what I sew. Well, the thing is, I'm not special, and I think anyone can learn to sew what I sew. I'm pretty sure about that. And I'd love everyone to be able to sew what I do. Have you seen a Quilt-A-Long? I'd love to do a clothing sew-a-long if anyone is really interested. We could take it step by step and simplify the process a little. Send me an email or a comment if you want to!
