On the the prowl for a new sewing blog, I typed in the simplest keyword that came to mind, “best sewing blogs.” The top results were ladies who Google not only ranked high, but I did as well – Gertie, Karen, Tilly, and more. But this was not what I was looking for; what I was in search of was a round up of sewing blogs, preferably broken down by category (yeh, I’m picky and organized), that would give me new sewers I could stalk. I looked all over hell and searched the high heavens, but I couldn’t find it. So, I created one. In early January, I emailed every blogger on my blog roll – I’m not kidding when I say every blogger, which was more than one hundred – and asked them to submit their picks to the “best of” categories I created. I gave them a little more than a month to respond, and I got a lot of feedback. It actually turned out to be a great blog project as I discovered a ton of new blogs.
Instead of giving a brief description of each blog, I used respondents to submit quotes as to why they like the blogs they chose. This way, you’re getting a completely unbiased, and sometimes hilarious blurb about the winners.
The purpose of this post is two-part. In addition to the first, I also want this to be a resource for everyone, which is why I created a page and added a button to my sidebar so that this information will be easily accessible for the rest of the year. Also, at the bottom of the post is a button you can add to your sidebar so that your readers can easily access it as well.
Part one is up today, and part two will be up tomorrow!
