We are spending a few days of our childrens’ spring break lounging at the lake right now, but I’m still sending out emails, because I’m too excited not to: I’m writing Sewing Buddy introductions to welcome new Sewing Buddies for 2012! No April Fools, if you got an email from me today, you just met your new sewing pen pal. Woot!
The first of our quarterly Sewing Buddy challenges begins TOMORROW here on the blog, but it’s not too late to snag a Buddy for yourself! Leave a comment on THIS POST and I’ll match a final batch tonight to get you all paired up in time to take part in the first challenge and reap the benefits of sharing your Sewing Buddy love!

Thanks for the opportunity to connect with another sewing person!

April 1, 2012 at 4:20 pmI would love to have a sewing buddy (if I’m not too late). I’ve been sewing for a little while now but have been sort of stuck on advanced beginner because I’ve been a little frightened to stretch myself, I need some encouragement!

April 1, 2012 at 7:55 pmIt just occurred to me that you probably want to know at which level I sew. I’m a beginner in the first year of learning but I’m trying to sew daily to improve. Thanks for organizing this. I always do better when there’s accountability 🙂

April 1, 2012 at 8:51 pmI want a buddy! The gorgeous weather had me outside all weekend and not reading my blogs so I’m a bit behind! I had so much fun last year and still talk to my buddy. Can’t wait to see what goes on this year. My fav number is 4 color is blue. Thanks!
Sonja
April 1, 2012 at 9:15 pmJust stumbled upon your blog today via a retweet. I live this idea! Sign me up, please. I’d classify myself as a beginning sewer. Fear keeps me from progressing. I’ve made some small curtains for my bathroom, a sad apron, baby blankets, etc. patterns scare me! Anyway, hope you can match me up. Financially, a lot of my sewing has to be upcycled

April 2, 2012 at 11:08 amI participated last year and am still going strong with my 2011 buddy, but I’d love to add another! (Note: I signed up on the original post but I think I forgot my favorite color — Teal!) THANKS! 😀

January 17, 2013 at 11:09 pmPlease send me a sewing buddy. I am 59 years old with the greatest passion to learn how to sew. I am not a beginner since I Know how to sew darts, simple elastic pants, skirts, everything simple. But I do have l the sewing machine and fabric needed to sew professionally, But I do not have anyone that is available to teach me my passion in learning how to understand advanced sewing techniques. Please help me. I have been invited to join a sewing group that meets on the last Sunday of the month at the B-Sew Inn. But unfortunately I am in trouble with pain and disease so I have not been able to attend. I believe that learning how to sew and be creative would inspire me to try to be a better person and it sounds like a lot of fun to learn. I need a teacher and a partner. I would be a good partner. I really do care so much about dressmaking and bias making and dress slacks and blouses. I do not know how to sew button holes. I can sew pillow shams and pillow envelopes. I understand seams.. Thank you for your time and help. Pat
