Any garment makers here? Looking for a good board/forum to join.

Hi all,
Wondering if any of you who sew garments belong to any boards or forums to share and learn. I"m looking to join one or two.

Many thanks,
deb

She has fantastic videos and clips from her show, when you do a google on her name pick the one that shows her TV show or has something about PBS

Have any of you watched the recent four episodes of The Great British Sewing Bee? It was awesome! Took me right back to 5th grade Home Ec. classes.

PatternReview.com is wonderful. Before you sew a pattern, search and find reviews by other sewists who have made the same pattern. Also, they have great contests! It's free but you can buy a subscription if you want more benefits from the site.

i always look there before I buy anything sewing-related, like sewing machines or sergers, too to get opinions from others who have used that brand. I like this forum best though to spend my time!
