Hand Sewing

Annekata is a fairly new blog with a heavy emphasis on hand sewing. She's a girl after my heart and I'll be interested as she builds her handstitched wardrobe. Just look at what she's wearing! Beautiful.

These friendship rings really knock me out. What a great beginner project.

I'm still looking for ideas for beginning hand sewers. Sachiko shares a variety of ruffle shirt tutorials at Tea Rose Home. Her linky love posts are really inspirational. She finds just what I'm looking for.

Free Purse, Bag and Baby Shoes Patterns

There is a very large library of sewing tutorials at SewLover Arts School. The entire site is interesting and there are more than 50 patterns just in the bags section. Other sections include toys, patchwork, and items for the home. The site is in Chinese but Google Chrome does a very good job of automatic translation. I was even able to say thank you through the message tab at the bottom of the page.

Baby shoes are here.

One of my favorite patterns is for this sweet little case.

Free Doll Clothes Patterns

Susan Kramer shares her doll clothes patterns for American Girl, Bitty Baby, Sasha and other dolls. Some of these would make good projects for young hand sewers, maybe in Alabama Chanin style. Upcycle some T-shirts.
