I don’t know about everyone else, but I miss watching sewing programs on t.v. Ever since HGTV and DIY networks cut the crafting\sewing part of their lineup there hasn’t been much to watch unless you’re fortunate enough to have some that run on your local PBS station. However, with the internet and a resurgence in sewing I’ve found a few resources that let me get my fix. The first is Sew On which has a number of videos to play (ranging from how to make your own boxers to sweatshirt makeovers) from their ‘daily line up’. They also have several other features to the site including a ‘community’ and ‘patterns’ section, however neither of these have been working properly for several weeks (if not longer). The second site is Quilting Arts TV, programing not only directed to quilters, but also those interested in mixed media, home decor and accessories, and learning new stitch techniques. A number of sewing personalities also have started websites with posted videos including Sandra Betzina, Nancy Zieman, and Christopher Nejman. Anyone know of any more?

Tv shows, just like show and tell (or sew and tell) are what keep us inspired. It pushes us to do something we haven’t tried before. Commericial TV has left us hanging and Public TV is limited in so many ways. I beleive the gap will soon be filled.
